Remove RDS Profile from AD PowerShell

I was having a issue with slow logon times and temporary profile when users where logging on to an Windows RDS 2012 farm. I had a look at the issue and it was down to the RDS profile path in AD being set to use an old decommissioned server.

Once I found the issue, I need to figure out how many users where affected so the easiest way I could do this was to use PowerShell.

Below is the report script that I used.  The distinguished name used in Get-ADUser -searchbase will need to be update and the export path.  (Test before running any script and also check the quotes and doubles quotes when copying) 

## Get list of Users
$RDUsers = Get-aduser -SearchBase “OU=TestUsers,OU=Users,DC=Domain,DC=Local” -Filter *

## Set Results Array
$Results = @()

foreach ($user in $RDUsers){
$RD = [ADSI]”LDAP://$($user.DistinguishedName)”
if ($RD.Properties.Contains(“userParameters”)){

$profilepath = $RD.psbase.Invokeget(“terminalservicesprofilepath”)
$profileHome = $RD.psbase.Invokeget(“terminalServicesHomeDirectory”)
$props = @{
UserName = $user.SamAccountName
RDSProfile = $profilepath
RDSHome = $profileHome
DistinguishedName = $user.DistinguishedName
}

$Results += New-Object psobject -Property $props
}

else {
Write-Host “No UserParameters set on” $user.SamAccountName -ForegroundColor Green
}
}
$Results | Export-Csv C:\Temp\Logs\RDSProfile.csv -NoTypeInformation

Once the script has completed the results will be export to a CSV with all user and there profile pathsOnce we have the list we can either remove manually or the better option use the CSV and remove the profiles using the invokeset method.

Below is the script I used. The script could be run against all AD users but I prefer to limit the amount of object I have to run against. (This will replace values on users so should be fully tested before apply to large amount of users.)

$RDProfile = Import-Csv -Path C:\Temp\Logs\RDSProfile.csv
foreach ($RDU in $RDProfile){
Write-Warning “Removing Profile from $($RDU.UserName)”
$RD = [ADSI]”LDAP://$($RDU.DistinguishedName)”
$RD.psbase.Invokeset(“terminalservicesprofilepath”,”$null”)
$RD.psbase.Invokeset(“TerminalServicesHomeDirectory”,”$null”)
$RD.setinfo()
}

After the script has run the profiles should now be cleared.
