Greetings,

I am facing a common issue across multiple computers all running Windows 11 version 23h2. When navigating to System – Advanced Settings – User Profile, I notice that all user profiles display a recent modification date, regardless of whether the users are still active or not. These are all Active Directory (AD) users.

I am considering whether the AD user setup might be contributing to this anomaly. My main concern is the accumulation of outdated user profiles on the computers, particularly those shared among numerous users. This situation leads to limited SSD space due to constant profile modifications, as these computers are commonly utilized for simple tasks like document viewing, printing, and email correspondence.

Given the tedious nature of deleting profiles individually across a significant number of computers (400+), I am exploring the possibility of creating a PowerShell script that can automatically remove user profiles which have not been logged into in the past 2 to 3 months. The challenge lies in distinguishing between active and inactive profiles as daily modifications render traditional scripts ineffective.

I am seeking advice on potential solutions to efficiently address this issue, as my attempts to find a suitable resolution online have been unsuccessful. Apologies if this query is not suited for this forum, and thank you in advance for any assistance provided.
