"Delete cached copies of roaming profiles" not working

I have been having a problem with the "delete cached copies of roaming profiles" group policy setting. I have a test setup as follow:

1) Windows 2003 Small Business Server Standard Edition with all updates

2) Windows XP SP2 with all updates workstation joined to domain through "servername\connectcomputer"

The regular group policy objects seem to work. I'm even able to enforce password policies, etc. But I can't get this object to work.

I created a new GPO, its only setting is to enable delete cached copies of roaming profiles. I linked it to SBSComputers (the default containter for the new machines and the containter for my linked up workstation), but when I logout the folders for the users that have been on the computer are still there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I'll give that a shot and see how it works out.

Worked like a charm. I thought this GP setting would remove all of the old cached profiles also. I didn't realize I had to manually delete them. I was also unaware that I had to use the UPHCS in conjuction with it.

You don't *have* to use the UPHCS with it, but it makes the deletion more reliable.
