Hello,
Just had a user calling me telling me that on a specific site where the user needs to log in and specify a location to where his documents are, it shows an invalid path to the old fileserver.
Ruling out any GPO, i turned to cookies. Since we never delete any cookies for the users, this one have had thousands og cookies!
I want to find cookies where this site have saved som informations and i just need the job done...
declaring the path to cookies (which is on a fileserver)
$path=\\Fileserver\svprofil$\System\SVJVI\Citrix\H5\cookies
Now get all the cookies
$cookies=Get-ChildItem $path
now find the cookies that contains the specific site$matchCookies=$cookies | Select-String -Pattern "<specific site>"
$matchCookies | gm reveals that
TypeName: Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MatchInfo
Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()
GetType Method type GetType()
RelativePath Method string RelativePath(string directory)
ToString Method string ToString(), string ToString(string directory)
Context Property Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MatchInfoContext Context {get;set;}
Filename Property System.String Filename {get;}
IgnoreCase Property System.Boolean IgnoreCase {get;set;}
Line Property System.String Line {get;set;}
LineNumber Property System.Int32 LineNumber {get;set;}
Matches Property System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match[] Matches {get;set;}
Path Property System.String Path {get;set;}
Pattern Property System.String Pattern {get;set;}
in order to remove a file we need the entire path. We dont have fullname in out members, but we do have filename. I use the path from before and melt it with the attribute filename.
$cookies | Select-String -Pattern "danskebank" | foreach{"$path\"+$_.filename}
file://fileserver/profileShare$/System/Username/Citrix/H/cookies/BJ9NTMU2.txt
file://fileserver/svprofil$/System/SVJVI/Citrix/H/cookies/MFBOIQR5.txt
file://fileserver/svprofil$/System/SVJVI/Citrix/H/cookies/8VN8Y5A5.txt
now its just to implement remove-item:
$cookies | Select-String -Pattern "danskebank" | foreach{remove-item ("$path\"+$_.filename)}
jobs done :)
