Profile persistence at logoff

[icarus]

When a user logs off, the group policy remains.

I'm sure there's a GPO setting I can use to ensure the policy is removed at logoff, anyone know what setting it is.

I've seached hi and low for this, can't seem to find the answer.

What type of policy are we talking about?

For instance, if you setup a software policy and then remove it, there will be an option to remove the software from the users or computers it affects.

You might also check your effective settings. If this is a local policy and there is a site, domain, or OU policy that conflicts, the parent policy will be the effective policy. One way I check is to open the local policy and look at the local policy versus the effective policy and then try to find the policy that created the effective setting.

These are User and computer policies getting applied at the OU level. I'm not overly concerned about the Computer ploicy sticking around, but I would like the User policies flushed out when the user logs off.

Are you talking about removing the policy every time the user logs off or removing the policy forever?

The policy will persist as long as it is applied to the OU. If you remove it from the OU, it should go away for the user.
