If your citrix admins have browsing access to c:\documents and settings
(win2k) or c:\winnt\profiles (TSE) they can delete any profiles straight
from there.=20

There is nothing special done in deleting the profiles from My computer,
that manually deleting the files from Explorer won't do.=20

They will (of course) not be able to determine if a profile is roaming
or local, or be able to quickly determine the last login time, when
using explorer.=20

Out of more curiosity . . :)=20

What kind of profiles are they deleting? Cached roaming copies that
aren't being removed properly?=20

What about scripting the removal of any cached profiles during a nightly
reboot? Be careful not to delete the default user profile or the All
user profiles with this process. But something that copies all profiles
out to a temp directory for the admin's to go through (for any missed
files) and then wipes all cached copies after a reboot should help clean
this up.

Just a thought.

Well, this policy is for Citrix Admins.  I want them to be able to
delete profiles, but not to change the computer name, unjoin from the
domain, change the pagefile, etc.  If there is a better way, I'm all
ears.

Thanks,

Chris

Out of curiosity Chris, what kind of access do you need to provide
someone with in the property tabs of My computer?

Is this something that you might be able to make a custom MMC applet
for instead?

I personally haven't come across any policies that allow this kind of
granular control in the property tabs of My computer. Generally,
disabling the 'properties' tab for My computer is restriction enough.
