RE: [ActiveDir] Delprof.exe en mass
We run the following script at machine startup for all student computers
to delete any stray profiles - all users should have mandatory profiles
except for local admin, domain admin. We also don't want to delete all
users. It gets rid of both the profile and the reference to it in the
registry.
You may want to do something to make sure that you only run this once
(otherwise you'll keep deleting user profiles!). We have a registry key
at HKLM\software\cnwl and set values there for events which have
happened or version numbers of installed software etc. and check that to
make sure certain processes only get run once.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Delprof.exe en mass
I am in the process of creating new profiles for a few
thousand users. In order to make a clean switch, I will need
to delete the local cached copy of several user profiles
delprof.exe can do this on the individual basis. Has anyone
had experience using it for thousands of machines, maybe
writing a script to have it run domain wide?
