When you say “delete the profile” are you just trying to delete the profile
folder under C:\Documents and Settings? That doesn’t truly dump the profile, as
there are still some registry keys that have to be cleaned up.
On that note, I don’t think deleting the profiles on startup is a good
practice, even if they are for what I assume are temporary lab user accounts.
You’re better off creating a scheduled task on the machine to run the
delprof.exe utility (from the Server Resource Kit) which can delete all
profiles that have not been used in a specified number of days. Just my opinion
though. You may have valid reason for doing it that way so please don’t take
offense. J
As far as the script not executing is concerned, did you place it in the GPO’s
“machine\scripts\startup” folder in SYSVOL or somewhere else on your network?

Subject: [gptalk] Bat File Not Executing.
All -
I've added a bat file to the startup script inside of a GPO, the computer
configuration part of the GPO. The script deletes any profile starting with
lab* and is suppose to run when the computer is restarted so as to not run into
any file locks by explorer. However, the folders are not being deleted and when
i run a gpresult, the script indicates: " This script has not been executed"
any ideas ?
