Is there an easy way to clean out a users temporary internet files, cookies
and history for ALL users on a terminal server, or do I have to manually
erase all that stuff? We are using a Win2K SBS machine with a Win2K and a
win2K3 terminal server. We used to allow TS user to browse the internet on
the TS, but have now revoked that and I want to clean all that stuff up...

I've been looking for an answer to the same question. Would love to
hear the solution if anyone has got it out there. So far it is possible
to write a script but it is not something im an expert on.

If I find out I will definately let you know!!! What's your email address??
mine is (E-Mail Removed) if you find anything out too...

Ya, scripting will work or a small VB app could do it - but that's too much
effort for what I really want to do right now - which is just a one -off
thing...

This can be done via Group Policy. You can enable a GPO setting that deletes
the contents of the IE Cache when closing the browser, another that limits
the size, and another that deletes the local profile when it's done being
copied to the Roaming Profile Location.

We have a windows 2000 SBS machine. I do not see the same group policies you
are referring to. I can get as far as the Internet Control Panel - but there
is no "Security Page" and "Advanced page" directories under that. Is this
something that was only implemented on 2003 server?

On 2000 you only have the second and third option. The image with the name
ending in 2003SP1 pertains only to 2003SP1. You can enable the advanced
settings by switching to preference mode.

ok...

I went in and changed preference mode - and the advanced item shows up at
the bottom of the list. When I click the advanced item there, I see
"Corporate" and "Intenet" settings items displayed in the right hand pane.
However, when I click on either one of them and select properies, nothing
happens. In fact that window simply closes! Is there something else that
needs to be installed before I see the screen that is shown in the 2nd and
3rd options you posted for me? They are pointing to some .adm files -
"inetcorp.adm " and "inetset.adm" respectively. These files do exists in the
c:\winnt\inf directory. Why might I not be seeing any further settings?

Thanks, Brad
