ControlUp users discussed adding the CLEANMGR method to an existing script for cleaning up the Windows Update Cleanup from Disk Cleanup. A script from the CU Script Library may be able to help, with the necessary options to include the desired folders. The Clean Windows System Drive script may also be an option.

Suggestion for Script to Create Log Bundles with ControlUp Infrastructure Servers
A user suggested creating a script to generate log bundles with logs from ControlUp infrastructure servers such as SBA, COP, IOP, etc. An example of such a script was AppSense-Support.vbs and this was used to successfully retrieve the logs. The ControlUp Script Library includes a script (https://www.controlup.com/script-library-posts/deploy-log4net-for-controlup-processes/) for generating log bundles for Cloud components, although it is more complicated to do so for on-prem components due to the large size of the logs.

Creating a Script for Maintenance Mode Changes on Citrix Machines
This discussion was about creating a script to show who changed maintenance mode on Citrix machines and when, as well as potential logs for restarts, forced logoffs and MCS updates. The ControlUp Script Library already includes a script that shows log information, but users suggested modifications to provide more detailed information such as for maintenance mode changes. The discussion was in favour of this idea as it would allow for quicker learning of the why behind accidental maintenance mode changes.
