New in version 2.8.
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
name
string
|
Specifies the base name for the profile path.
When state is
present this is used to create the profile for username at a specific path within the profile directory.This cannot be used to specify a path outside of the profile directory but rather it specifies a folder(s) within this directory.
If a profile for another user already exists at the same path, then a 3 digit incremental number is appended by Windows automatically.
When state is
absent and username is not set, then the module will remove all profiles that point to the profile path derived by this value.This is useful if the account no longer exists but the profile still remains.
|
|
remove_multiple
boolean
|
|
When state is
absent and the value for name matches multiple profiles the module will fail.Set this value to
yes to force the module to delete all the profiles found. |
state
string
|
|
Will ensure the profile exists when set to
present .When creating a profile the username option must be set to a valid account.
Will remove the profile(s) when set to
absent .When removing a profile either username must be set to a valid account, or name is set to the profile's base name.
|
username
-
|
The account name of security identifier (SID) for the profile.
This must be set when state is
present and must be a valid account or the SID of a valid account.When state is
absent then this must still be a valid account number but the SID can be a deleted user's SID. |
