I'm not sure this is possible. I don't recommend that anyone use roaming
profiles in an environment that doesn't have fairly identical workstation
builds (and I don't generally recommend mandatory profiles at all). Perhaps
roaming profiles aren't for you. If you use Folder Redirection for My
Documents, Application Data, and Desktop (and perhaps also redirect some of
the shell folders such as Favorites, to a subfolder of the user's home
directory) you may not need roaming profiles at all.
I'm not sure exactly what your script does, but since a computer startup
script has nothing to do with user properties, I doubt it's going to work as
you expect. You could try posting in m.p.windows.server.scripting for more
help with that, tho.
