How to delete local profile when a user logs off

[sx3]

Does any on now how I could do the following:

When a user logs off I want the local profile to be deleted. Therefore when anyone logs on there should not be any local profiles apart from the administrator.

Would this be done by scripting, batch job, a service…or what ?

Many thanks

Hi,

1. You can use delprof from the Resource Kit.
2. If you wan't to avoid locally cached profiles you can edit the registry
to
delete the profile during logoff:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon\
Value: DeleteRoamingCache
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

You can use GPOs to distribute this setting, and also use delprof in a
logon/logoff script.
