goodmornin to you all guys,
i have a win2k AD domain with win2k clients.
Profiles are not roaming, users profiles i mean, and at the logon, in every
workstation each profile is stored locally under the documents and settings
folder, as usual.

Since i have thousands of users and they are literally filling the HD space.
I woul dliek to know how i can set the proper configuration in the gorup
policy of my users to avodi it (in other words, how can i tell the rule:
delete the local profile at LOGOUT)
Is it possible?
Excuse me for the question, maybe it is very simple ;( but i would liek a
tip, please !!
Thank you ;)
Ivan
 
Unfortunately there is no policy to delete non-roaming profiles at logoff.

There is a Resource Kit utility called delprof.exe that could help you.
delprof can delete selectively local profiles that are older then specified
number of days. E.g. you can schedule periodic job using scheduler to run
every day and it would delete all profiles that were not touched more then 1
day. Or if you wish you can schedule job run every hour and it will delete
all profiles, except those that are currently in use.
 
GRAZIE !!!!!!!!
