All rights reserved.' # Description of the functionality provided by this module Description = 'The WinProfileOps module provides a comprehensive toolkit for managing Windows user profiles across local and remote computers. This module automates profile management tasks such as detecting orphaned profiles, retrieving profile information, and auditing discrepancies between profile data in the file system and the registry. It handles both filesystem and registry operations, leveraging its dependency on WinRegOps for registry-related tasks. WinProfileOps integrates seamlessly with WinRegOps to query, validate, and manage user profile-related data from the Windows registry. This module is ideal for system administrators seeking to streamline profile management, especially in environments with many users and computers. Dependencies: - WinRegOps: WinProfileOps depends on WinRegOps for registry operations, such as querying, opening, and modifying registry keys related to user profiles. Key features: - Retrieve user profile information from both the registry and file system (local and remote). - Detect orphaned profiles (e.g., missing profile folders or registry entries). - Filter and exclude special accounts like system or service accounts. - Remote profile management support for retrieving profiles from different systems. - Robust error handling for permission issues or unreachable systems. - Class-based profile objects for easy integration with automation tasks or scripts. Typical use cases include: - Cleaning up orphaned profiles after system migrations or user deactivations. - Automating stale profile detection on local and remote systems to maintain system performance. - Managing user profiles in large-scale, multi-user environments such as terminal servers and Citrix. - Excluding critical system accounts from profile management tasks, ensuring important profiles remain unaffected. - Providing profile management as part of system maintenance routines to enhance system health. Upcoming Features: - The `Remove-UserProfile` function is coming soon, offering safe removal of user profiles from both the file system and registry, with strong safeguards like `ShouldProcess`, `-WhatIf`, and `-Confirm` to prevent accidental deletions.

This ensures consistent handling of unreachable computers across different functions. ### Changed - Moved `Get-SIDProfileInfo` to the private functions folder. It will serve as an internal function for `Get-RegistryUserProfiles` - **`Get-SIDProfileInfo`** - Returns an empty array `@()` when no registry key or SIDs are found, improving handling for cases where there are no profiles. - Improved error handling to ensure proper error messages when the registry key or subkeys cannot be opened. - Enhanced handling of SIDs that are invalid or missing a `ProfileImagePath`, logging appropriate warnings or verbose messages. - Optimized function behavior to handle scenarios with no SIDs, invalid SID formats, and missing `ProfileImagePath` values gracefully. - **`Get-UserFolders`** - The function now logs errors when folder retrieval fails, improving diagnostic feedback. - The default value for the `ComputerName` parameter is set to `$env:COMPUTERNAME`, ensuring local computer behavior by default without requiring the user to specify it manually. - Refined the `Get-DirectoryPath` call to ensure path conversion consistency across local and remote environments. - General code clean-up and improved resilience, returning an empty array when no folders are found or in case of failure, rather than proceeding without valid data. - **`Get-UserProfilesFromRegistry`** - Added error handling using a `try-catch` block to capture and log errors during the retrieval of registry profiles. - Implemented a check using `Test-ComputerPing` to verify if the target computer is online or reachable before attempting to retrieve registry profiles. - Returns an empty array `@()` when the target computer is offline or unreachable, logging a warning in such cases. - Returns an empty array `@()` when an error occurs while accessing the registry profiles, logging an error message. - Integrated with the `-ErrorAction Stop` parameter when calling `Get-SIDProfileInfo`, ensuring that errors are caught and handled appropriately in the calling function. - **`Get-UserProfilesFromFolders`** - Added error handling using a `try-catch` block to capture and log errors during the retrieval of user profile folders. - Implemented a check using `Test-ComputerPing` to verify if the target computer is online or reachable before attempting to retrieve user folders. - Returns an empty array `@()` when the target computer is offline or unreachable, logging a warning in such cases. - Returns an empty array `@()` when an error occurs while accessing the user folders, logging an error message. - **`Invoke-UserProfileAudit`** - Renamed the previous `Get-AllUserProfiles` function to `Invoke-UserProfileAudit`. - Added `Get-AllUserProfiles` as an alias for `Invoke-UserProfileAudit` to maintain backward compatibility. ### Removed - Removed the old `Get-AllUserProfiles` function and replaced it with the new `Invoke-UserProfileAudit` function. - Temporarily Removed functions (`Remove-OrphanedProfiles` and `Remove-ProfilesForSIDs`) related to Removing Users Folders and registry keys for further testing before implementing ' } # End of PSData hashtable } # End of PrivateData hashtable # HelpInfo URI of this module # HelpInfoURI = '' # Default prefix for commands exported from this module.
