Terminal services profiles 1

[taubate]

We have 3 terminal servers that doesn't delete user profiles in "c:\document and settings" when users log out. What should I do to make sure the user profiles are deleted when users log off? (other having to manually remove them)

Why do you want to delete the profiles?

You could create a logoff script to delete the %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\%Username% folder

you could also disable profiles:

Thanks for the input. Roaming profiles seem to be conflicting with local profiles. That is why I may have to delete the local ones.

To delete cached profiles at logoff, go to the:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon subkey and set the DeleteRoamingCache value to 1.

I check the registry on the terminal server and domain controller...no such key exists. Should I add it in?

Yes, if the value doesn not exist, add it as a type REG_DWORD, and set it to 1
