Is there a way to purge a Win2K Pro worstations users
profiles that are saved in documents and settings
directory, I have some machines that students use and all
of them have a network account and every machine they use
stores their account in the doccuments and settings
directory, at the end of each quater we have to delete all
f the users profiles from the workstations and this is
quite a task, I am looking for an automated way to do this
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanxx

If you want to script this, try DELPROF.EXE from the Windows 2000 Resource
Kit.

delprof [/q] [/i] [/p] [/c:\\computername] [/d:days] [/?]

Parameters:

/q
Runs DelProf in quiet mode, with no confirmation for each profile to be
deleted.
/i
Indicates that DelProf should ignore errors and continue deleting.
/p
Prompts for confirmation before deleting each profile.
/c:\\computername
Specifies a remote computer name on which to run DelProf.
/d:days
Specifies the number of days of inactivity (days is an integer). profiles
with longer inactivity will be deleted.
/?
Displays command-line syntax.
 
Yes it's in local group policy as well (gpedit.msc on Pro - Computer - Admin Tmpl - System - User Profiles. Not Local Security Policy. But set as a domain policy. Set once - applied everywhere.
