Does deleting a domain profile from a desktop using the User Profiles
dialogue (from System Properties>Advanced) do anything that just
deleting the corresponding folder in documents and settings doesn't?
Yes. It removes all kinds of registry entries/etc as well. Don't delete the
profile folders....always delete the *profile* - or you'll run into
problems.
If you like, try delprof.exe (downloadable from MS; part of the Windows
Resource kit) ....you can actually do this at the server. It's a command
line tool and is very handy.
You can run it against a single (remote or local) computer or from a list of
computer names - you can set it up to delete all cached roaming profiles
only, or all profiles, or older than a certain date, etc.
Run delprof /? from a command line to see all the available parameters.
