This script will look for files that were not deleted properly during Windows images deployments from MDT and delete them.
Use the -Verbose parameter for verbose output
The MDT deployment process creates the C:\MININT folder during the Windows imaging process which contains an unattend.xml file. This file can contain the following passwords:
- An AdministratorPassword element.
- A Password element which specifies the password for a LocalAccount to be created.
- A Password element for the AutoLogon account.
The PlainText element (which applies to all elements mentionned above) can be set to true or false. But even if it is set to false, the password is not actually encrypted. It is simply encoded as a Base64 string which can easily be decoded.
Normally, this folder should be deleted at the end of the imaging process. In reality, many system administrators have reported certain deployments failing to delete this folder.
This script attempts to remediate this issue by scanning a list of hosts for the C:\MININT folder and deleting it if you wish. It will then generate a CSV report.
Simply run the script with administrator credentials.
