Disk Cleanup using Group Policy

[Thomas]

Hi,

I would like to know, how to create a Group Policy to do a "Disk Clenaup"
(Cleaning Temp. Internet files, Temp. files, Temp. Offline files etc.) in
the local drive of the client PC's?

Thanks

Tom

IE cleanup as well as offline files should be available in Group Policy
in those "Administrative Templates" branches. A history cleanup template
would be something along
--snip--

CLASS USER

CATEGORY "Custom IE settings"

POLICY "Delete temporary internet files when IE is closed?"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache"
VALUENAME "Persistent"
VALUEON NUMERIC 0 VALUEOFF NUMERIC 1
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

Be sure to not move too much into startup/shutdown or logon/logoff
scripting as that slows down bootup/shutdown a lot. People use to turn
off their machines if they take too long to respond/react to shutdown
commands. As long as you're just cleaning temp folders, you should be
okay - but please don't trigger defragmentation or large file moves from
scripts.

Cheers,
Florian
