Anytime I had to deal with students who think they are smarter than the
average IT guy- I used mandatory profiles and I had to manage the
computer science students and UC Berkeley- and these guys and gals were
a lot smarter than me- or at least they had the potential to be.

 

Anyway- I would suggest that you do some testing with mandatory
profiles. 

 

Every time they log back in they start with the original profile.

 

Not sure if you would still need to run the delprof which I am
interested in looking at myself and every time they open outlook it
would go through the Outlook installation wizard (no user interaction
required) before they get in to email.

Office Custom Installation Wizard should help you generate a .prf you
can use to automatically setup a MAPI profile for Outlook.

 

Here are some links to get you started:

If you have any more questions you might find another newsgroup where
you can get more focused experience in this arena, as this is strictly
Group Policy related issues.

With the below in mind, I know there is a way to automatically configure
a users Outlook profile each time they log on without administrator
intervention. Can anyone point me in the right direction to view
documents on how to do this?

 

Thanks.

If you set up roaming profiles for them then you can use this policy to
delete them automatically when they logoff:

Computer Config\Admin Templates\System\User Profiles\Delete cached
copies of roaming profiles

 

Otherwise delprof is your best bet.

I don't think there is any GPO setting, but there is a nice little
utility called delprof.exe (a MS resource kit tool) that you could
schedule to run each night. It should do the trick for you.

Subject: [gptalk] GPO setting to delete profiles after logging off

 

I am setting up a lab machine, but I don't want the student profiles to
remain o nthe comptuer once they log in because, it could potentially
fill up the hard drive.

 

Is there a set GPO setting that would allow me to do this?
