Deleting recycle bin using a common username/password

The default implementation of "delete recycle bin" in mspcenter clears only the recycle bin of the user whose credential is provided in the configuration UI. For example if deepa is the hostname of a laptop with the following users AdventNet\deepa and AdventNet\administrator (domain admin user, this wont be shown in laptop's users list) then you need the password of AdventNet\deepa login to delete the user's recyclebin.  This is a problem in MSP environment where the end user's passwords are not known to MSPs. Moreover windows providers recycle bins for every user so applying a configuration with username as AdventNet\administrator wont delete the recycle bin of AdventNet\deepa and instead will delete the recyclebin of AdventNet\administrator.

To overcome this problem you can try the following work around. Following the steps below will delete the recycle bins of all users in select computers. Disclaimer: This workaround is provided to you in the best effort basis with inputs from other users. Mspcenter team is not responsible for any adverse effects of this configuration !!

Steps to delete the recyle bin of all users in a computer

  1. Download the following files clean.vbs and clean.bat 




  2. FTP these files to the end machines using the PUT configuration command
    desktop mgmt->configuration->computer configuration-> put file

    (repeat the same for clean.bat)


  3. Create a scheduler configuration to execute the batch file periodically.
    desktop mgmt-> configurations-> computer configurations-> scheduler
