I have a School network with about 150 W98SE workstations with a W2K fileserver. Approx 700 users are able to log on to any w/s.
The problem is the option - "You have not logged on to this computer before ........" - users are offered to save their personal settings on a w/s when they log on. Obviously the workstations rapidly accumulate a large number of user profiles, which can on occasion interfere with the profiles/policies downloaded from the server when the user logs on. A wide range of problems can arise, apparently without any provocation!
Rather than waste my technician's time in going from machine to machine to remove the users using the control panel option, does anyone know of a way either to prevent the option dialogue box from appearing, or to reliably remove user settings on boot?
