At one place I worked, they had speeded this up
by occasionally deleting user profiles along with all setting, data, documents etc then insist line manager re-requests all your access from scratch. Far quicker than re-imaging a laptop while creating similar feelings of loss and hopelessness in the user (although that included us techies, grrr)
I never did find out if this was BOFH behaviour or simple incompetence though.
