Hi Doug,
In that case, deleting a profile involves 3 steps.
1. delete profile dir under \documents and settings
2. find sid of user whose profile you're deleting
3. delete that SID key under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\profilelist
If you've deleted their account already, this will require a recursive loop
looking at ProfileImagePath values in the SID keys under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\profilelist for that users
name. Easiest thing to do if you're not up to the scripting is to export the
profilist key to a regfile using regedit and then just search for thr
username to find the SID.
regards,
Rick

We use delprof.exe to delete and cleanup our profiles. You can download it
from thethin.net's website...

Hello
We are using W2k and Metaframe.
Fairly regularly I have to delete profiles from servers. (we use roaming)
Problem is that it takes forever for the list of profiles to come up when I
rightclick on My computer, Properties, Users Profiles.
So I have been told there are quicker ways to do this? In most cases I know
the user id.
Does anyone have a script or tool that I can do this with? Not sure if I
can just delete the documents and settings\username directory or not.
Thanks
