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.

If not, it''s set to `$false`. - The environment variable is automatically removed when the module is unloaded or when PowerShell exits. - Registered an `OnRemove` script block and a `PowerShell.Exiting` event to ensure cleanup of the environment variable on module removal or session exit. - **Get-SIDProfileInfoFallback**: Introduced a new fallback function `Get-SIDProfileInfoFallback` that retrieves non-special user profile information using the CIM/WMI method. ### Changed - **Get-UserProfilesFromRegistry**: Updated the function to handle scenarios where the current user does not have administrative privileges. - The function now checks if the user is an administrator by evaluating the `WinProfileOps_IsAdmin` environment variable. - If the user has administrator privileges, the function retrieves user profiles from the registry using `Get-SIDProfileInfo`. - If the user lacks administrative privileges, the function falls back to the `Get-SIDProfileInfoFallback` method, which retrieves user profiles using CIM/WMI without requiring registry access. - A warning is logged when the fallback method is used, indicating that special system accounts are excluded. - Refactored `Process-RegistryProfiles` to better account for access denied errors when testing profile paths with `Test-FolderExists` - Updated `UserProfile` object creation in `Test-OrphanedProfile` for `$AccessError` Scenarios - Module is now using `WinRegOps` Version `0.4.0` for more refined registry value retrieval ' } # End of PSData hashtable } # End of PrivateData hashtable # HelpInfo URI of this module # HelpInfoURI = '' # Default prefix for commands exported from this module.
