AIX Administrator - User Profile Management

Good afternoon all,

Was un-sure on where to post this so I thought I would use this topic...

I was wondering what best practice people use for the deletion of user profiles on AIX systems?

At the moment, I currently don't delete any user profiles, they are just disabled as they own files. I was wondering what practice others follow?

I was thinking:
  • Create a default owner profile
  • Transferred users owned objects to default owner
  • Delete profile

Any other suggestions?

UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1)

NAME
update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache SYNOPSIS
update-profile-cache DESCRIPTION
Running this script (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically once a day by a cron script. NOTE: No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment caching pro- file assingments is only supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles, i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment). FILES
/etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles /etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script AUTHOR
