Windows

If you want any user who logs into a NT workstation to have a pre defined profile instead of the default profile, then you need to overwrite the default user profile with a pre configured profile.
Here is what you do.
Create a new user account with admin rights.
Log in as that user. In the \Winnt\profiles folder, copy the contents of the administrator folder (assuming the administrator user has the pre defined settings you want) to the default user folder.
Delete any domain user profiles you see.
Now, when you log in as a domain user, you will receive the pre configured default profile.

Sounds like you're using roaming profiles and downloading a mandatory profile. Look in the C:\WINNT\Profiles\%username$ directory and verify that you have a file called ntuser.dat NOT ntuser.man. If so rename it on the server and all is well.

Good Luck
