Manage user profiles

Group,
I am not versed in PowerShell- still learning.

I need to manage Userprofiles on 1000+ computers.
I am starting small.

The end goal is to remotely delete User profiles (other than specials) over 5 days old)

This is the ‘rough’ goal

Get-WMIObject -class Win32_UserProfile -ComputerName ‘XXXXX’| Where {(!$_.LocalPath -like ‘**.*’) -and ($_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastUseTime) -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-5))} | Remove-WmiObject

---

[SIZE=14px]My initial script only deals with the user profiles[/SIZE]:

(Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile -ComputerName ‘XXXXX’ | Where {($_.LocalPath -like ‘**.*’)}|)

This successfully enumerates all profiles that fit the pattern (firstname.lastname)

(Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile -ComputerName ‘XXXX’ | Where {($_.LocalPath -like ‘**.*’)}| Remove-WmiObject -whatif)

This lists all profiles that would be deleted- no errors

(Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile -ComputerName ‘xxxx
‘| Where {($_.LocalPath -like ‘**.*’)}| Remove-WmiObject)

This results in errors…. what am I missing?
