[THIN] Re: Delete Local Profiles

Use Joe Shonk’s script. http://www.theshonkproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=31. It works a treat J

 

Setup a scheduled task. You will need to use an Account that has local Administrative access. The Local System account does not have all the required permissions as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262223.

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Subject: [THIN] Delete Local Profiles

 

Hi

We are removing roaming profiles from our organisation as we don't really need them anymore.  We will use local profiles only on Windows 2003 systems.  I want to setup a scheduled task on each server that deletes all local profiles except Administrator, All Users and Default User.  AD Group Policy only has a setting to delete cached roaming profiles, not local profiles.

I know there are utilities such as delprof and remprof but I dont believe there is an easy way to say delete all except Administrator etc.  Has anyone achieved this or know of an easy way to do this?

Thanks
Angela
