Caveat- I don't currently use roaming profiles. I believe however
that a user will only have one network directory for his or her roaming
profile. Roaming profiles will sync between the user's current PC and
the server, but not server-to-server.
According to man pdbedit you can set the profile for each user.
Profile Path: \\BERSERKER\profile
Man page for smb.conf shows
logon path = \\PROFILESERVER\PROFILE\%U
I am guessing that the "per user" settings overrides the server
default
if you did not want all the roaming profiles on a single server. You
may not want profiles on your PDC if you want to minimize network
traffic or disk usage.
Each DC must have a netlogon directory. The member servers do not.
You do need to make sure the login scripts are the same on each DC.
