Question : Delete user profiles based on the age of the ntuser.dat file.

Hey folks, I am trying to delete old user profiles based on the age of the ntuser.dat file. The quirky thing is that this is being done in a Windows 7 pre-execution boot environment.

We use WDS to deploy our images. When we have a Windows XP machine thats ready to be migrated to Windows 7 we have a particular boot image that when selected boots to the windows 7 pxe, automatically creates a bunch of folders, moves some stuff around, yadda yadda yadda, and it would be great if it could also look at the C:\documents and settings folder and identify all user profiles with ntuser.dat files older than.......oh say 60 days and delete those old profiles. I can't use delprof, that won't work in W7pxe. Any ideas? Thanks folks.
