Is there other files that can safely be deleted i.e. $ntuninstall directories for patches
or

oh you can use group policies to make sure that temp files in usr profiles get delete when they log off. and that they can never go above a cirtian size. that will help automat what Kmotaweh is sugesting

I have a GP file to import if you want this..

PS user profiles will only be a probelm is you ahve lots of people logging on to the server localy. or creating accounts on it..

So things like citrix servers and such like..

exchange/sql/file servers should not get this problem.. (unless of course members of the IT unit are logging on and filling up there own profiles)
