Active Directory Users/Profile Removal

[NetAdmin2004]

I am not really having an issue, but I am looking for a more efficient way to remove users. Basically it is in a college setting so users get added and removed frequently.

I have roaming profiles setup for the computer lab and I also have the My Documents folder redirected through AD to a user folder on a server.

The "problem" I am facing is that it takes hours to remove the profiles and user folders off the server because the user has ownership. I have to go to each main folder (Profile and Storage) and take ownership as an admin in order to delete the profile and storage folder. If I try to delet without taking ownership, it tells me access denied or disk maybe full etc.......

Maybe some can direct me into the right path to just be able to remove the user through the AD manger and have it automatically remove the folder without me having to go through and take ownership of everything for each individual user..... Thanks for any help in advance!

Thank You,

Ed

Try setting up a home directory for your users, when its mapped through the profile it will set the folder with permissions giving the Administrators full control as well as the user. When the user leaves you should be able to just delete their home directory
