Hello Everyone - I am managing a couple of labs that contain close to 300 machines. All of the machines are loaded with Windows 7 Enterprise. We push Windows updates using SCCM and I am experimenting with SCUP for Adobe (Reader, Flash, etc.) updates. I wanted to see what you guys use to update Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Java, iTunes, QuickTime and Safari? Thanks a bunch! Nermin

Adam - Where do you copy the "customized" quicktime.qtp file so that all the new profiles (domain users) get the customized settings? Do you have a login script copying it to the localLow folder for each user or is there a way to replace the "default" quicktime.qtp file that quicktime draws upon when new profiles are created? Thanks for your help!

Hello Everyone, I am trying to deploy a Windows 7 Image and include QuickTime with custom streaming port settings. I am running into issues as each domain user that signs in will get the default QuickTime preference file that does not include the updated port settings. The preference file for QT is stored in each user's profile under: c:\users\%username%\appdata\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\quicktime.qtp I was thinking about creating a login script that will copy the "customized" quicktime.qtp to the user's LocalLow folder but since I am reimaging the computers I think that there is a better way of doing this rather than messing with login scripts. Has anyone had any experience with QuickTime deployments with customized preferences? Thanks, Nermin

The Lab is open 24/7 so the computers stay on all the time. We schedule the scans during off peak hours (4:00 in the morning).

Same here, students tend to download all kinds of stuff and our IT security department mandates that we run daily "Quick Scans" and weekly "Full Scans" on all of the machines... Whenever infections are detected, they are usually located in user profiles, so eliminating those at a regular basis would definitely help. One of the random machines that I selected in one of my labs and installed the hotfix, it has 193 local profiles!

Thanks for the useful info, I will try the hotfix and will report back with results...

We are using local profiles. The computers are slowing down and when we run virus scans it takes so much longer to finish scanning because there are so many useless profiles to scan through. Ideally, I'd like to delete all profiles that are older than 30 days. Delprof in XP worked really well. This group policy setting would be great if I could only get it to work...

Hello Everyone - I know that some of you probably use scripts to delete old profiles, but I wanted to see if anyone has been able to get the Group Policy working that is supposed to delete user profiles older than X number of days? Computer Configuration -Policies --Administrative Templates ---System/User Profiles ----"Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days on system restart" I run a couple of computer labs at a Medical School and we have a lot of students logging in to the machines. Within a short period of time, a lot of local profiles build up and degrade the performance of the computers. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Nermin
