One of my team has implemented Openaudit on our Windows Domain and it is a great tool.

the issue I am having with it is on the PCs being audited.

Windows 7 Enterprise clients on a Windows 2012 Active Directory Domain.
Many Users of Laboratory based PCs, thus there are many User Profiles Under C:\Users

when the Audit Script (as is supplied by default) is run on the PC as a login script it holds open
the majority if not all of the user profiles in c:\Users. this means that the log off script i have to delete
profiles older than 10 days does not work, it can not delete them as they are in use..

If I remove the Group policy object link that contains the audit script from the ou container for the PCs
and wait a while for the GPs to update on the PCs it can then delete the profiles.

The same is true for Manual deletion of the profiles, remove the script from the equation and all works properly.

Has anyone else had this issue?

And can anyone please help me determine which part of the script is holding them open?

Thanks in Advance.
Neil

I've never seen this reported and the audit script "shouldn't" be opening (and not releasing) locks on user profiles.
I don't think the audit script cares about individual user items anymore.
Your users profile directories aren't shared by chance?
The audit script does report on shares.

no nothing special about the User profiles as far as I know, I have not made any thing there shareable etc.
I am continuing my data collection but without the script running it's fine.

Maybe try running the script on a schedule instead?
Enterprise can run Scheduled Discovery.
Might be worth a try to see if it still behaves badly.
If not, I don't think it's the script. If so, lets keep digging...
