Yes. I find that generally the profiles will delete when the user logs
off when set to do so through group policy but there are times when they
won't for whatever reason. I still reboot my Win2k/MF 1.8 servers daily
and have delprof scheduled to run on those machines right after the
reboot. Doing that helps us out a lot.

Hi Mario,
The reason I specified either win2k sp3 or the hotfix is because we've
had issues with "stuck" profiles where the perofile wasn'r peoperly
unloaded out of memory. These look like logged in profiles to delprof so
they don't go.
However delprof will generally always work properly after a reboot.

Rick

Hi Rick
thanks for this info. i checked the registry and saw the profiles in
the profilelist. Even after running the script. For clarification, if I
run delprof, it SHOULD delete all profiles that are not currently in
use, but not "broken" profiles...correct?
Thanks Again
Mario

Hi Mario,
Delprof will only delete profiles referenced under
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\profilelist. It
doesn't actually know about the default user and all users profiles, but
since they're not listed under profilelist, they're left alone, as are
profiles of logged on users.
Typically, if a profile got stuck or corrupted, the "new" profile will
be something like username.001 etc. If you run delprof, the original
"broken" profile won't be deleted.
You'll need either win2k SP3 or Q292548 (fix stuck profiles) and a bit
of scripting to get rid of the profiles delprof doesn't delete.
Regards,

Hello Jim
Thanks for replying. Unfortunately that didn't work for me.
Running W2K Servers w/ MF 1.8 in an NT4.0 Domain
Our Servers have three partitions
x:\ is for support/utility files
y:\ is our system drive also where profiles are stored
Z:\ is our programs drive
I saved our profile script in our scripts directory on drive x: I ran
the script from a command prompt and all went through with no errors.
However, the profiles did not delete. Thinking that the script (and
accompanying
utilities) would have to be in the same directory as the profiles, I
copied them over and ran it again. Nothing. I looked on the M$ website
and found the syntax and parameters and tried them, still nothing.
So now my question is... does DELPROF.EXE look for a variable for the
proper directory?=20
I've copied the script below just in case.
I'm VERY appreciative for your help
Mario
THIS IS THE SCRIPT
@echo
REM This batch file gets rid of stuck profiles. x:\scripts\regunld.exe
>> x:\scripts\regunload.log echo y | delprof.exe :END
I've also tried=20
x:\scripts\DELPROF.EXE /y
Thanks again

Create a script using delprof (http://thethin.net/delprof.zip) and the
below utility (link may wrap)

Hello
We have an issue with roaming profiles not logging off properly. I KNOW
I KNOW...(check the archives) But hear me out. We have the registry set
to delete all copies of roaming profiles, and under most circumstances,
they delete just fine. However, at times when a users session is reset
(after being idle for 4 hours) or the computer hangs, the profiles will
stick. I downloaded the script that unlocks the registry for those
profiles. I can them manually delete them by right clicking on My
Computer then going into the profiles tab. My question is, is there a
way to automate the deletion of the profiles within x:\Documents and
Settings ? I obviously can't write a script to delete the contents
because then the all users directory would be deleted. Any suggestions
or links that might assist me? Thanks in advance Mario
