Roland Eich wrote a new post, Synchronize password hashes using Azure Active Directory Connect (AAD Connect) 3 hours, 24 minutes ago
If organizations do not want to transfer their password hashes to the cloud in a hybrid AD configuration, they can use ADFS for authentication. A compromise with less overhead would be to sync the passwords only of selected users with AAD Connect.

carp started the topic Repost with Title: Compare directories; delete profile directories not in list.. in PowerShell Forum 6 hours, 24 minutes ago
Greetings all,
I have been working this issue for well over a month now. I didn’t want to post, because I didn’t want to appear too dumb on this forum. You are all so smart and experienced. I thought I could figure this out on my own. I was wrong.
Additionally, I would like to thank you all. Your experience published here has helped me very much in furthering my PS understanding.
My question follows from the following facts:
<initial script received from on-high>
```
# Root-Ordner in dem die Userordner liegen
$userroot = 'wffs01profile_old'
# alle User aus dem AD lesen
$users = get-aduser -Filter * | select -Expand SamAccountName
gci $userroot | ?{$_.PSIsContainer -and ($_.Name -replace '.(V2|V5|V6)$','') -notin $users}
```
I have two directories:
- A) old AD Users
- B) current AD Users
- Each of the subdirectories in A has an extension of .V2.
- None of the subdirectories in B has an extension of .V2.
- I have assumed from the beginning that I need to remove the .V2 extension before I can do a compare (not sure if this is the best solution).
This is the main issue.
The files / profile directories as seen in Windows Explorer:
I read that directory contents into $oldADUsers:
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $oldADUsers =gci $userroot | % basename
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $oldADUsers
```
…
```
AfsgrA.V2
afsgrb.V2
afsgrC.V2
AfsGrD.V2
afsgre.V2
afsgrf.V2
afsgrg.V2
afsgrh.V2
afstelgte.V2
```
…

I have a list of current AD users, read into $currentrADUsers:
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $currentADUsers = get-aduser -filter * | sort-object | select samaccountname
```
…
```
afsgra
afsgrb
afsgrc

<h2>I am stuck here.</h2>
VARIABLES:
- $userroot: fileserverprofile_testprofile_old$ -- Directory which holds old profile directories.
- $oldADUsers -- PS Variable which holds list of names of old AD users’ profile directories.
- $currentADUsers -- PS Variable which holds list of names of current AD users’ profile directories.
I am stuck here.
Here is my logic:
1.       Read the names of the contents of the profile_test directory into the variable $oldADUsers.
2.       Read the names of the current AD Users into the variable $currentADUsers.
3.       If there exists a profile directory name in $oldADusers which matches a profile directory name in $currentADUsers, then leave it be with no changes.
4.       If there exists NO profile directory name in $oldADUsers which matches a profile directory name in $currentADUsers, then delete the profile directory recursively from $oldADUsers.
5.       If there exists a profile directory name in $oldADUsers for which there is NO match in $currentADUsers, then take ownership of that user’s old profile, and then delete recursively the user’s old profile directory from profile_test.
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $userroot = 'fileserverprofile_test$'
```
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $currentADUsers = get-aduser -filter * | select samaccountname
```
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $oldADUsers = gci $userroot | % basename
```
At this point, I have two lists of profile directory names:
- ```
$oldADUsers
```
- ```
$currentADUsers
```
<p class="crayon-selected">where the individual entries in the $oldADUsers list have an extension of .V2, whereas the entries in the $currentADUsers list have no extensions.</p>
*****
What I believe I need to do:
1. Remove the extensions from the directory names in $oldADUsers,
2. compare the directory names to those in $currentADUsers,
3. take ownership of the selected directory and
4. perform the recursive delete.
I believe I will need a for-loop similar to:
```
Foreach-Object {$_.Name -replace ".(V2)",""}
```
…but that won’t work, because I can’t replace with a null value.

I am stuck here.

Following is the code which I have used to get this far…..
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $userroot = 'fileserverprofile_old$'
```
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $currentADUsers = get-aduser -filter * | select samaccountname
```
```
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> $oldADUsers =gci $userroot | % basename
```
I have tried separating the values in the $oldADUsers list:
```
$oldadv = $oldADUsers.split(".")
```
…but then I have array indices to worry about, which I think only makes things more complicated than they need to be.
I have tried the following, but it will break on other lists:
```
PS C:> $newADName = $oldADName.split(".")
```
```
PS C:> $ADNamesingle = $newADName[0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40]
```
```
PS C:> write $ADNamesingle
```
...
```
AfsgrA
afsgrb
afsgrC
AfsGrD
afsgre
afsgrf
afsgrg
afsgrh
afstelgte
```
...
OTHER CODE WHICH I'VE USED in this script WITHOUT SUCCESS:
```
$cool = gci $userroot | ?{$_.PSIsContainer -and ($_.Name -remove '.(V2|V5|V6)$','')} ===> problem: -remove not recognised.
$cool = gci $userroot | ?{$_.PSIsContainer -and ($_.Name -replace ".(V2|V5|V6)","")} ===> does not remove extension.
```
```
$Files = $oldadv
ForEach ($File in $Files)
{
$File.FullName | Copy-Item -Destination ("Drive:Path" + ($File.Name -replace '(.V2)','') )
}
```
```
Compare-Object -ReferenceObject (Get-Content -Path 'C:jctempmyusers.txt') -DifferenceObject (Get-Content -Path 'C:jctempoldadname.txt')

get-childitem 'wffs02profile_testjc' -include *.V2 | foreach ($_) {remove-item $_.name}

foreach-object in c:jctempmyusers.txt [io.path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension("c:jctempmyusers.txt")

foreach ($file in gci -literalpath "C:Temp") { rni $file.FullName $file.Name.Replace("A","B") }

foreach ($file in gci -literalpath "wffs02profile_testjc$") { rni $file.FullName $file.Name.Replace("V2","Shit") -credential $credentials }
```
I need help.
Thank you in advance to any of you out there who take a look at this.
I wish you all a nice start into your week.

Best regards,

Windows 10 version 2004 gets new Start Menu, but there's a catch
You can now begin enabling and configuring the new Start Menu in May 2020 Update for Windows 10, thanks to new optional update and Registry hack. Windows 10s next update 20H2 is expected to be a service pack style upgrade and its supposed to land later this year.
