Script to delete NTUSER.DAT file from server

[cneilson6]

Hi

 

Does anyone have a script to delete the NTUSER.DAT file from the server on logoff?

 

At present we have a problem when students log off that the file gets corrupted and next time they try to login that are unable able to and get the message group policy service failed the logon access is denied. I have tried to stop this happening but at present i am unable to stop it, so we are stuck reseting profiles when it happens so i'm looking for a script that will do this automactically when the students log off.

You want the group policy settings under computer configuration > adminsitrative templates > system > user profiles (or it could be group policy folder, i forget which) but look through those anyway

I know which policy you are refering to but this only removes profiles form the local machine and not from the server, plus i only want it to remove the ntuser.dat file and not the whole profile as this slow the login down.

If you delete the ntuser.dat from the server though aren't you just wiping their personal settings everytime? in which case you'd might as well just use mandatory profiles?

 

Setting up a script to delete it is probably easiest but it sounds like a bit of a backwards patch to a problem rather than an actual fix
