Delete Cookies On Workstation When User Logs Off VIA GPO
IT Problem
When you users on your network log off you want to delete all the local cookies so that the system is more secure with passwords etc. This can be done with a batch file that is called during the log off process.Delete cookies via gpo
IT Solution
Ok so first of all create a file called deletecookies.bat and then copy the text below into it. These commands clear all the local cookies.
@ECHO OFF ECHO Removing all cookies from local machine RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1 RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2 RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16 RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32 RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255 ECHO Cookie removal complete!
The copy the batch file on your domain controller to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\scripts
Once done you now need to create a group policy and modify the log off option to point to your script.
It can be found here. User Configuration>Windows Settings>Scripts (Logon/Logoff) > Logoff
now when a user logs off all the cookies are deleted.

FYI – RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2 clears the cookies. The other lines clear everything else in IE – temp files, history, etc.
