Why not just put the batch file and DELPROF in the GPO as well? That way it's cached on the PCs and should run if disconnected.Quote:

"Delprof doesn't need to be copied to the client - I run it from a batch file stored in the NETLOGON share using GPO logoff script"
tried that & it doesn't work for me - batch file doesn't support UNC path & also I think user has insufficient access to run delprof - any ideas?
run it at machine startup.
I have placeed a bat file to run Delprof in NETLOGON and using GPO logoff script. I believe that it is deleting my test profile, but the logoff script runs before the "network connections" screen and then "saving your settings" screen appears, which I believe, is placing the profile right back in the "Documents and Settings" folder. How do I set the logoff script to run at the very end or how do I switch off the "save your settings" process?
you can't delete a profile that's in use.
you can't alter when logoff scripts are run within the logoff process.
D'oh - silly me - I run it at startup :oops:Quote:

The GPO setting doesnt appear to work for me?Quote:

Then install the UPHClean on each workstation?
I run this batch file on startup using machine GPO. (Not log off, sorry) Have been doing it for donkeys. We have a user naming convention for all students whereby username starts with year of entry (e.g 08 this year :nerd: ) leaves the other profiles I want to keep (none student) on the PCs.

@echo off
c:
cd\documents and settings
for /f %%f IN ('dir /b 03*; dir /b 04*; dir /b 05*; dir /b 06*; dir /b 07*; dir /b 08*; dir /b 09*') DO rd /s /q %%f
-----------------
One really doesn't need to use batch files, delprof, GPO's or commercial utility's,
the answer is really simple:
make the users member of the group "Domain Guests" or the local Guests group, and their profiles will be deleted immediatly after logoff automatically.
This functionality is built-in by design.
They can still remain in the domain users group too, so it won't affect their rights.
what about unknown ones ? lolQuote:

i use this in one of my logon scripts
just edit the excludelist to allow for profiles you wish to keep.Code:'function to delete profiles
Function Delprof()
On Error Resume Next
Dim obtainfolder
Dim Pathfinder
Dim strPath
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\"
userexcludelist = "Administrator,All Users,Default User,localservice,networkservice,"
Set f = fso.GetFolder(strPath)
' Loop through all subfolders
For Each fldrItem in f.SubFolders
fldrName = fldrItem.name
If Right(strPath,1) <> "\" Then
Pathfinder = strPath & "\" & fldrName
Else
Pathfinder = strPath & fldrName
End If
If InStr(1, userexcludelist, fldrName, 1) Then
Else
set obtainfolder = fso.GetFolder(Pathfinder)
obtainfolder.Delete true
End If
Next
' Clean up objects
Set fso = Nothing
Set fc = Nothing
but the rules still apply, you cannot delete ones in use.
this seems to include all the ones used since the machine booted, not just the logged on one.
