Hello George,
Thank you for using newsgroup!
From your post, you can create a default user profile and store it on the
shared folder of server, and then the Default User profile will be used to
create new Roaming Profiles. You can assign profile paths in Active
Directory users. The following is information on creating Default user
profiles.
Creating a Default User Profile
=====================
Setting up a default profile for new users will work as long as the user
has not already logged into the network and established a profile on the
workstation (local profile) or on the domain (roaming profile).

When a user logs into a system, the SID of the user account is used to load
a user's profile.

| I have set up the defualt profile that a user will receive by going to a
| branch and copy a profile to Default User. I have to do this on every
| machine in the branch. Is there a way to create a default profile and
store
| it on the file server in the branch? What if I have multiple defualt
| profiles for different machines in the same location with multiple
servers?
| Also is there a way to configure outlook so the user doesn't have to
enter
| the exchange information to run. I would like to automate this if
possible?
| The less the user has to do the better? Right now I have to go out and
set
| up a profile for every user on ever computer at a location and with the
| amount of movemnet its a pretty daunting task.
