Delete old unused profiles on XP Pro machins remotely
I'm looking for a way to clean off old profiles off of XP Pro computers remotely as quickly as passable, I've been going into the documents and settings folder and deleting them through explorer, but I'm getting a lot of "Cannot delet NTUSER.DAT:" messages and also messages giving the option to skip deleting a specific file. What I want is to delete a bunch of profiles at a time with the least amount of interaction and as quick as possible, does anyone know a way to do this? I'm doing this through remote (dame ware) or preferably by using the \\computer name\c$ access.

With unlocker (http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/) you can delete the files that are in use (in your case the .dat files)

ivuz: I've tried unlocker and it requires a great deal of interaction and still will not delete some files.
