Hello,

I have used delprof in the past for Profile Management under Windows XP. Is
there a reliable replacement for Vista. I need to delete all profiles on a
machine nightly.

thanks,
mitch

As far as I can tell there is no utility for Vista so far. However there is
a group policy setting that seems to work pretty well. Computer
configuration-->Administrative templates-->System-->User Profiles-->Delete
user profiles older than a specified number of days.

Hi!

Did you find a solution for this? I am having the same issue.

Sorry Dave,

I haven't found a solution to this problem. I am really getting
P.O.ed that Microsoft removes something that works perfectly well and
then provides something that does not work or no suitible replacement.
I have set the policy as low as one day and still no profiles are
deleted on reboot.
