True, but I know it's always cleaner to delete the profiles from My
Computer.  Yes, cached profiles are getting deleted.  I just wanted
to give them another tool in troubleshooting.  I have left most admin
functions alone for them, but at the same time, I don't want them to
make any system-wide changes until a Server Admin comes into the
process.  The Citrix Admin just needs to be able to create a user
account within AD, assign the user to the necessary groups, and make
necessary additions within the CMC.  They don't have access to any
reg editing tools, nor any MMC snap-ins except AD Users & Computers
and the Event Log.

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.=3D20

There is nothing special done in deleting the profiles from My
computer, that manually deleting the files from Explorer won't do.=3D20

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.=3D20

Out of more curiosity . . :)=3D20

What kind of profiles are they deleting? Cached roaming copies that
aren't being removed properly?=3D20

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.
