This is version 2 to below Powershell script to query parent directory containing user home folders or profiles.
Especially helpful for housekeeping deprecated RDS & Citrix profiles, maximising disk space on your profile file server.
Improvements
- Added error handling with try/catch.
- Added input for directory path.
- Added color for deprecated profiles.
- Removed unnecessary reporting of valid profiles.
