Vista - Delete old Vista profiles

Delete old Vista profiles

Hi,

I want to integrate a sub into an existing cleanup script that clears any
profiles older than X days (2 days to start with).

We already have the "delete profiles older than X days" in our group policy,
however that has proven unreliable in our environment, so we would like to
ensure the removal of profiles if this process fails.

Under XP there was a "delprof" application that could be used, but under
vista I cant find a replacement, so I presume we just need to delete the
subfolder from c:\users and the associated registry keys for that user?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
