Big big profiles

[Johan Meiring]

Hi,

The NT Resource kit contains a utility that you can install on the
workstations that refuses to let a user log off until he reduces the size of
his profile.  DOn't know how it works, but I know it exists.

You should probably reduce the IE temp file storage as well, as your users
have no control over what IE will store in their profile.

Hope this helps
