Powershell script to delete the roaming profile path entry in ADUC for several users

Question

Hi,

We have an issue with using FSLogix and the existing AD setup where roaming profile path is set in the ADUC under the Profile Tab. If you have profile set on AD and you want to use FSLogix to manage roaming profile, this will not work as its obviously going to clash which GPO/AD setting to honor when you login. We are moving away from roaming profiles, so the only way for this to work is to set FSLogix as intended via standard GPO settings to manage roaming profile, and then delete the Roaming Profile path entry in ADUC.

Now i need to delete this for around 600 users. They are all in a security group. So i wonder if there if you can help with a powershell script to mass delete the roaming profile path entry with the security group as the targer object? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Punkasur ,

maybe this helps - Not tested by myself / use on your own risk!:

#Try one user first  
Get-ADUser -Identity "<testUser-samAccountName>" -Properties ProfilePath | Set-ADUser -Clear ProfilePath  
  
# Not tested by myself - use on your own risk!  
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "<YourGroupContainingUsers-Name>" | Where-Object {$_.objectClass -eq "user"} | Set-ADUser -Clear ProfilePath
