Hi Leco, Only for locally cached roaming profiles as far as I'm aware ... the software I'm looking for integrates with AD and deletes the server copy of the users home and profile directories at the same time as deleting the user object. Cheers Benzini00

Hi all, A short while ago I came across a thread on a forum (not sure if it was here or elsewhere) there was a discussion about deleting users from Active Directory and at the same time deleting their data (home drive and profile) AD Infinitum was mentioned along with another product but then someone posted a link to a free add-on/plug-in for AD Users & Computers that would do the job. I thought I had bookmarked and saved the software, but can I find it! ... Anyone got any ideas? I've spent the last 4 hours searching Google and my usual forum haunts with no luck ... Thanks in advance! Benzini00

Hi Dos_Box, We kept legacy RIS functionality in our WDS as this was how we deployed W2K and we were still deploying it during the planning and implementation of Vista, but to be honest with you I dont miss RIS or RipRep, I did at first but now I've got use to the extra functionality of WDS & ImageX and the flexibility of the images it creates I find ImageX saves alot of time during the build process. I agree with your comment that the transtition from XP to Vista isn't that attractive though! ... Cheers Ben

Hi all, In July 2007 after 4 months of testing, packaging software and creating new GPO's we deployed Vista Enterprise and Office 2007 to around 200 desktops using Windows 2003 Server, KMS, WDS and BDD. We transitioned from Windows 2000 & Office 2000, there were a few small issues but nothing that we couldn't rectify with a macro, script or registry tweak. We opted for a PXE Boot 'lite touch' installation, we may move towards a 'zero touch' in the future. All in all it was a smooth deployment, user acceptance has been high with many users not even being phased by the new look and feel of Vista & Office 2007, something we flagged up as a potential risk in the planning stages. A few weeks after deployment, having had very little feedback or helpdesk calls, we started to approach users to find out how they were getting on, pretty much every user looked at us with a puzzled expression and replied 'fine, why?' or 'ok thanks' If anyone wants to know anything specific about our deployment I'd be happy to post replies here ... Cheers Ben
