I need to use New-PsSession to run multiple commands on a remote computer to gather information from the registry.
The problem is when I run New-PsSession, it creates a user profile with my username on the computer and after I disconnect and remove the session, the profile is correctly "unloaded" but the files stay in C:\USERS\XXX.
This is a problem because sometimes my collegues who reimage computers will see my user profile on that computer and think I'm logging on that computer even though I just ran a few commands to check registry settings.
My question: Is there a way to create a PsSession without it creating a user profile to your name on the target computer or some other way to make it clean itself up after it's disconnected and removed?
Example code to illustrate the situation:
New-PSSession -ComputerName XXXX -name TEST
start-sleep 3
Disconnect-PSSession -Name TEST
Remove-PSSession -Name TEST
Of course I could do something like this after the PsSession is removed:
Get-WMIObject -ComputerName X -class Win32_UserProfile | Where {$_.LocalPath -eq "C:\Users\X" } | Remove-WmiObject
It works but it feels "dirty". Am I missing something?
Have you tried the following:
$option = New-PSSessionOption -nomachineprofile
New-PSSession -ComputerName XXXX -name TEST -SessionOption $option
