A script to delete user Profile after Logoff in XP
Hi ALL,
Background: These workstatiions are not on the Domain:
In our Campus students have individual accounts and each time they logoff a profile is created under
C:\Documents and Settings\user1. So, what I want is a vbscript or batch to delete each user account after logoff. That means regardless of how many users logon in a given day, no profile is saved under C:\Documents and Settings. Again these are stand alone desktops but deleting the profile everyday is killing me. I need automate the process instead of maual mode.
Any ideas suggestions are greatly appreciated.

store a batch file on every users machine in c:\computers text with one line for their computer name wihtin teh text file
For /f %%a in (c:\computers.txt) Do Delprof.exe /I /Q /C:\\%%a /D:1
then set a scheduled task to run the batch file at a set time every day
For /f %%a in (c:\computers.txt) Do Delprof.exe /I /Q /C:\\%%a /D:1
then set a scheduled task to run the batch file at a set time every day
Any update?

Is this how you do it? Give me a little details.
/f %% in (C:\DIMCFICE0102256.txt) Delprof.exe /I /Q /C:\\%%a /D:1
Thanks,
thats how you do it, put that into a batch file, store the list of computers within the C:\DIMCFICE0102256.txt file as one machine per line and then run that batch file
open notepad
paste /f %% in (C:\DIMCFICE0102256.txt) Delprof.exe /I /Q /C:\\%%a /D:1
save the file as cleanupusers.bat
then just run that to do teh clean up
open notepad
paste /f %% in (C:\DIMCFICE0102256.txt) Delprof.exe /I /Q /C:\\%%a /D:1
save the file as cleanupusers.bat
then just run that to do teh clean up

So, if I store the list of computers how are these computers be cleaned up?
I'm assuming this is not going in a login script? Is yes i can understand adding a list of computers in the txt. I am a little lost?
paste /f %% in (C:\DIMCFICE0102256.txt) Delprof.exe /I /Q /C:\\%%a /D:1
save the file as cleanupusers.bat
then just run that to do teh clean up
