Could you use a mandatory user profile, so that all changes are deleted when the user logs off, or do you need to retain data? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. The real answer is "use WMI" to delete it. I even found a powershell way to do that here: stackoverflow. I just think PoS sucks away resources in an unnecessary way. I also cannot be bothered, nor my lazy staff, to sign startup scripts the way we should to keep things secure. Best of luck. With PowerShell, I believe this will work.

Tested it with R2 and worked as expected to delete my roaming profiles — guillem. Zoredache Zoredache k 39 39 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
This page is a good reference for policies gps. Zoredcache I do not like to mark people down, but this does not work, at all. I speak from experience, and that of my co-workers, this garbage fails as if it were meant to do the opposite. A quick search on the internet will lead you to posts like this. I have seen this work, but I believe you when you say that it doesn't work in some places.
Still It sure seems like you would want to try using the built-in method before trying a script. I've seen this and can attest to the mixed results of it. One of the main issues is that we don't have an automatic restart policy which seems to be the trigger for the wipe.
I have never got it to work, and we have hundreds of workstations in a university setting. My co-worker tried using it long before me, and I was blown away at how ineffective it was.
Moreover, he found a couple of angry TechNet threads where many frustrated Winboxen admins complained it never worked, hence my stern response. I hope I did not come off too dickish. Also, I heard about the cloudapp thing a few days before from Raymond Chen's blog. Very good suggestion, Zoredache. I need to recommend this to all my coworkers.

If I download from this link, it'll be the latest version I hope? That is the updated version to the one in the Server Resource Kit Tools.
However we're on Server R2 now as the current version of Windows Server. So ideally, you'd want the one off the Tools CD from that. However, the current version of the Server Resource Kit is not free. Windows Server Resource Kit Overstock. Are you saying the download I found isnt the latest version? No, there's a newer version in the Server 2k8 Resource kit.
However the version you have downloaded is the latest you can get for no cost. Thanks to Geoff from: gotstuckagain 15th July Originally Posted by gotstuckagain. Last edited 11th February at PM.
