I am setting up roaming profiles.
I do not wont to set up each users profile separtly. I would like to make one profile then copy this profile for all users. So each user has the same profile but their own (It is only the same from the start once then change things then it stays that way).

Create a profile that you want all users to use.
On a user account put in a UNC for the folder where you want to create it with a .man extension
Example
\\server\profiles\allusers.man
Setup the profile up on your user account the way you want it.
From within the new profile rename the ntuser.dat file to ntuser.man
This will prevent any user from changing the profile that you set up.
Make sure all users have read permission to this folder.
Network traffic should not be an issue since you have made the "small" profile mandatory
Good Luck

First setup the initial profile that you want everyone to have. Do this by getting a computer setup just how you want them to start out. Then copy the profile to a network location, name it accordingly. Only give yourself access to this profile.Next, create a 'Profile' share. Give authenticated users access to it. Create a separate copy of your original profile for each roaming profile you want to create, giving only the person with the corresponding roaming profile access.
Last, use User Manager/Users and Computers to map the user profile to their copy of your original.
They will start with a copy of what you want them to have. As they make changes, they will only effect themselves.
-If your in a WAN environment, you should consider redirecting some of their personal folders.
