Default Repalcement for DelProf

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.

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.
