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.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to view documents on how to do this?

It should do the trick for you. //signed// Jamie R Nelson Systems Engineer Ingenium Corporation 72 CS/SCBNF 405.739.2811 (DSN 339) ________________________________ From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Washington, Booker Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 10:06 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
