What is the best way to clear temporary internet and temp
files when a user logs off?
 
Unfortunately there is no GPO setting that will let you enable the "Empty Temporary Internet Files..." button in the IE Advanced Settings, so if you forgot to set this in your Default User Profile before users profiles were generated your stuck with these (which aren't so bad)

Group Policy -> User Config-> Windows Settings -> IE Maint->Advanced-> Corp Settings-> IE Temp Files -> Set to something small like 256KB (I use 4096KB because I have enough space and these aren't part of the romaing profile. If you Delete the Roaming Profile Cache when users logoff this will delete all temp IE files, so this setting wouldn't be needed

Terminal Services Configuration MMC -> Server Settings -> Delete Temp Folders at logof

I don't think that he was wanting to delete the temporary
folders at logoff at the server console. He is wanting
(like I am) to have the user's workstation temp folder
contents be deleted at logoff.

Any suggestions on how to do this?
