Local Profile

[2a]

I have a local profile set up for my users because the network is not the greatest for a roaming profile. However, this profile is getting really big now since its creates a new one each time they log on to the server. Is there any kind of scripts out there I can run nightly to clean up this profiles. Please help

To keep the size of the profiles down, change the paths for temporary and user files using either a system policy (recommended) or modifying the relevant registry keys (not really recommended!).

You could schedule in a simple folder delete batch file using the at utility to clear the profiles down - but my preference is for roaming profiles. You could then implement the registry key HKLM\Software\Windows NT\Currrent Version\Winlogon\DeleteRoamingCache: REG_DWORD: 0x1 (It doesn't exist by default, but the API does!).

Kick your network guys to sort out any networking issues - once you've got roaming profiles in place, you have more control over your implementation ;-)

Hope this helps

I will love to use roaming profile, but at this point I have no choice but to keep using local profile unitll the network is upgraded. But thanks for your advice, I think I'll just create a bacth job to take care of it. If anyone has more suggestion please let me know.
