Remove user profile

[5jgibbs]

In windows 7, I have a script that removes C:\Users\USERNAME of all the domain users. They do not have roaming profiles, but there profile gets created as a local profile. There user account does not show up anywhere on the computer except for a folder in C:\Users. When I remove their user folder, it assigns them a temporary profile instead of creating them a new profile. This works fine in XP, but does not work in windows 7. Any ideas?

Does your script involve the use of Delprof which is not really compatible with Vista or Windows 7?

No, I am just removing the folder. But there is no actual user to remove like there is in XP, I was using

net user USERNAME /delete

But a user on the domain in Vista/7 does not create the user account on that computer like XP.

You might find a solution on the Server Forum, so it is worth posting in there too.
