Local Guest users group, and Adobe Design Premium CS5
Situation: Large college, rollout of Win7 PC’s. On student pc’s, all users are a member of the local guests group so that their profile is wiped upon logoff. This was done because delprof.exe no longer functions in win7, and several students a day would be logging into each pc, causing a very large amount of profiles to accumulate. We evaluated using Group Policy to delete profiles older than a certain amount of days, but that requires a local admin to login to each machine so that the user profile service an wipe the profiles according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940017. The problem: Adobe Design Premium CS5 will not run on guest accounts due to their new DRM. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684730?tstart=0 Since Adobe makes no attempts to remedy any of the many problems they have with their software, and its obviously not win7 compatible; we need a viable alternative to putting users in the guests group so that profiles are wiped and security is not compromised.
