Ideas on automating a PC Refresh


Write a powershell script to automate at job on the network every monday at midnight

# Define the action to be performed (replace with your own command)
$scriptPath = "C:\Path\To\Your\Script.ps1"

# Define the task name
$taskName = "MyScheduledTask"

# Create a new scheduled task action
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "PowerShell" -Argument "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $scriptPath"

# Create a daily trigger that repeats every 7 days (for Mondays)
$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Weekly -DaysOfWeek Monday -At 12:00AM

# Register the scheduled task
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName $taskName -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -User "DOMAIN\Username" -Password "YourPassword"

Write-Host "Scheduled task '$taskName' created successfully."

Write a powershell script to clear all the user profiles off the 10 most full PCs on a computer network

# Define the path to the file containing the list of computer names
$computerListPath = 'C:\Path\To\Your\ComputerList.txt'

# Read the computer names from the file
$computerNames = Get-Content $computerListPath

# Sort the computers by available disk space (descending order)
$sortedComputers = $computerNames | ForEach-Object {
    $computer = $_
    $diskSpace = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $computer |
                 Where-Object { $_.DriveType -eq 3 } |
                 Sort-Object -Property FreeSpace -Descending |
                 Select-Object -First 1
    [PSCustomObject]@{
        ComputerName = $computer
        FreeSpaceGB  = [math]::Round($diskSpace.FreeSpace / 1GB, 2)
    }
} | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -Descending

# Take the top 10 computers with the least free space
$top10Computers = $sortedComputers | Select-Object -First 10

# Loop through the top 10 computers and remove user profiles
foreach ($pc in $top10Computers) {
    Write-Host "Clearing profiles on $($pc.ComputerName)..."
    Get-CimInstance -ComputerName $pc.ComputerName -Class Win32_UserProfile |
    Where-Object { !$_.Special -and $_.Loaded -eq $false } |
    Remove-CimInstance -WhatIf
}

Write-Host "User profiles cleared on the top 10 most full PCs."
