Re: My custom actions in the state restore phase are not working?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Figured out what I did wrong with your script Jaybee
the line below is supposed to be on line instead of 2.

Set objLocalGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer &
"/Administrators,group")

Script runs fne now and acutally learned some more scripting on how to del
folders and remove users from local machine.

Thanks for all the help and patience. Scripting is not something I watned to
learn but it's a nessacary evil with SMS.

Thanks again
