Hi<br />
<br />
We are using delprof to remove old profiles from around 1700 PCs, however I discovered this KB article<br />
<br />
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883250" rel="ugc nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883250</a><br />
<br />
So presumably this is like just deleting the profiles from within Docs and settings as its not removing the Windows installer data from the registry?<br />
<br />
found a Possible batch file to get around this<br />

<br />
<br />
My question is what issues could be caused if the Windows installer data is not removed from the registry?<br />

Possible Issue using delprof.exe remotely

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
