RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Windows XP automatic profile deletion suggest ions

With AD you can have scripts that run on Workstation Startup, Workstation Shutdown, User Logon and User Logoff. The user directory is created based off of the logged on user name.  This is stored in %username%.  I'm not a script master, but I wouldn't think it would be harder than using a batch file run at User Logoff and you'd be good to go.   Dave   ------------------------------------------------ David J.

Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 1:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Windows XP automatic profile deletion suggestions We have many labs that many students use and in this one particular lab we do not have any desktop controls (DeepFreeze, Fortress or even strict GPO's) set for a number of reasons.  Most of the students do not have a home folder to redirect roaming profiles to and we would rather not set that up.  We want to get away from having them log in using a generic user account.  So I am looking for an easy way to automatically delete the user profile upon logout so the machine does not accumulate many profiles over time.  I have done this using Terminal Services and Citrix.  For those students that have home folders we are implementing roaming profiles to fix this but we really do not want to add the rest of these students into that category.  My goal is to have them login with their unique userid and then once they logout the profile is deleted either with a script or some other unknown mechanism that escapes me right now.   Any suggestions?   Thanks -- Brian
