Can someone help me please ?

I would like to clear de personal profile c:\documents and settings\username after logoff
So only c:\documents and settings\administrator and c:\documents and settings\All Users are kept.

Is this possible with a win 2000 Pro machine locally or can it be enabled with Active Dir on a win 2000 domain server ?
I would not like to work with a seperate profile for every user (students). I would like to delete their map c:\documents and settings\student1 , c:\documents and settings\student2,....
 
Hi,

you can do it using regisrty key
Registry Settings
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Value Name: DeleteRoamingCache
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)


There is a command line utility also there called "delprof "from res kit to delete the cached roaming profles.

try to use this

or use GPO for the same .i think GPO is better

refer this kb article from MS

Hello Aslamvs and Aribos,

Thank you for the replies. Problem is that I do not want to work with Roamed profiles. If I enable then the deleteroming profile option (tested with local reg and GPO), the profile remains there.

Is there a way to work around the Roamed profile. Now all my users have Profile Path: (blank).


Many thanks in advance !
