Hi, I would like to ask, will the roaming profile directory in C:\Documents and Settings\username, will be deleted once the user logs out? Mine isn't. I'm worried that, for a thousand users, one workstation would have a thousand directories? I believe those are not local profiles, since it is saved into the server every time the user logs out.

It's part of the policy to tell NT to delete the local cached copies. Create a ntconfig.pol in your netlogon share with this policiy and you should be fine.

All users will use each others machine at some point. I'm currently thinking of setting it up for my university's computers. There are about 500 workstation and more than 5000 students, and they can log in to any workstations. Is there anyway the profiles will be copied to the Samba server and automatically deletes the local workstation profile?
