Profile Deletion Exception

[Guest]

OK one of my clients have a process that runs on all desktops doing the
delprof.exe program deleting all profiles 80 days or older. Now I have 1
account that isn't used all the time and just there just in case... However
if the profile directory is deleted it breaks the process if they ever need
to use the app that uses that account.

So my question is how does delprof.exe determine the age of a profile and
how can I trick the system to see that this one profile gets touched every
ohh 30 days no matter what and never grows older. Any help will greatly be
appricated.

Regards,

Billy S.

It checks the lastLogonDate. I don't know how to fool it.

See tip 6360 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com for a solution.
