Hello,
I have used delprof in the past for Profile Management under Windows XP. Is there a reliable replacement for Vista. I need to delete all profiles on a machine nightly. thanks, mitch |

As far as I can tell there is no utility for Vista so far. However there is
a group policy setting that seems to work pretty well. Computer configuration--Administrative templates--System--User Profiles--Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days.

The policy for removing account that have been inactive does not seem to work. I have set it as low as 1 day, then rebooted the system only to find none of the profiles are deleted. I have 30 systems all with over 100 profiles on them and I need a way to delete them. Is there any other options other than a policy that does not seem to work for me, or the accounts applette that only lets you delete one at a time. -Sealdog -- Sealdog Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Sorry Dave, I haven't found a solution to this problem. I am really getting P.O.ed that Microsoft removes something that works perfectly well and then provides something that does not work or no suitible replacement. I have set the policy as low as one day and still no profiles are deleted on reboot. sealdog -- Sealdog Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
