how do I get rid of a mandatory profile from a client computer? I broke the profile link in active directory but the three computers that I logged in on our using a cached copy (less secure than the group policy lock down). To make matter even worse I can't get it to go away.

You must have administrator permissions to delete a user profile.

This method also deletes the profile from the ProfileList key in the registry.

That is a nifty little utility -but the profile did not even show up when I typed it in the command. I also tried using group policy to get rid of the sucker - no luck.
