Powershell to find and disable and delete user accounts

Hi all,

I am new to Powershell, and have been given the task to do the following.

I am trying to get a PowerShell script v4 to got through certain OU Groups in AD and if a user is 60 days inactive then disable it and move to a disabled OU, if inactive 90 day or more then delete the from the disabled OU.

 

I have this so far, with the Transcript, I have it in there to log, but I can not get it to format correctly.

Also need to move the users profile folder to a drive, where we will keep it for a period of time before deleting.

$Logfile = "D:\test\AUTODELETEUSERS.txt"

Start-Transcript -Path $Logfile 

Write-Verbose "START OF LOG FILE" -Verbose

Write-Verbose "Compare Date : Getting date" -Verbose

$COMPAREDATE=GET-DATE

Write-Verbose "Settings Number of days to 60" -Verbose

$NumberDays=(get-date).adddays(-60)

$DeleteDate=$NumberDays+30

# 

#$OverRide='***OVERRIDE***' 

# 

$OnLeave='On Leave Until'

# 

$OU='OU=Test,DC=corporate,DC=nzpost,DC=co,DC=nz'

$then = (Get-Date).AddDays(-60)

$LISTOFACCOUNTS=Get-ADUser -Property Name,lastLogonDate -Filter {lastLogonDate -lt $then} -SearchBase $OU | FT Name,lastLogonDate

# 

$LISTOFACCOUNTS | DISABLE-ADACCOUNT -whatif 

# 

$LISTOFPOTENTIALDELETES=$LISTOFACCOUNTS | where { $_.LastLogon.AddDays($DeleteDate) -gt $CURRENTDATE } 

# 

FOREACH ($USER in $LISTOFPOTENTIALDELETES) 

{ 

    IF (($USER.Notes -notlike '*'+$OVERRIDE+'*') -and ($USER.Description -notlike '*'+$OnLeave+'*')) 

    { 

        REMOVE-ADOBJECT $USER.Name -whatif 

        WRITE-HOST $USER.Name 'Deleted' 

    } 

    ELSEIF ($USER.Notes -like '*'+$OVERRIDE+'*') 

        { 

            WRITE-HOST $USER.Name 'Not removed due to Administrative Override' 

        } 

        ELSE 

        { 

            WRITE-HOST $USER.Name 'Not removed - Presently on Leave' 

        } 

} 

Stop-Transcript


$Name = "testuser"

$User = Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(sAMAccountName=$Name)"

If ($User -eq $Null) {"User does not exist in AD"}

Else {"User Found in AD"}

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $OU -Properties Enabled, CanonicalName, Displayname,Givenname, Surname, Department  | select Enabled, 

CanonicalName, Displayname, GivenName, Surname, Department | Export-CSV "E:\Damo\UserDescription.csv"

G'day mate!  You probably already figured it out by now but thought I'd post in case it helps someone else.  

For logging I like to use the old ">>" to a text file because it's fast and easy.  Can't help you much with backing up user profiles because I don't know where you're storing them in your environment.
