Where to save profiles on server?

As far as I know there's not a special place for this, but of course consider things like recoverability. The folder for mandatory profiles you need at least read permission. Since they cannot change the profile giving them write permission will notchange much unless there's something else stored in that folder that they need write access for. the roaming profiles, if not mandatory, should have bothe read & write access to the respective users.

Hope this helps

Any shared folder will work it is best to put the share point on another server other than the DC due to processor usage. This can be a hidden share and the users only need rights to their own folder, along with normally Domain Admins or Administrators. The users will need write and read capabilities to these folders.

A hidden share is made bi making the last character of the sharename a dolar sign ($).
Like "profiles$".
in your user properties fill in the profilepath as \\server\sharename$\%username%.
With these settings you can make a template user, which can easily be copied.
use the %username%, it will be automaticly converted to the users real name.
If you now make a new use of a copy of the template, the directory will be automaticly created, and the rights will be set for the user.
In older service packs, the system forgets to assign rights for the administrator, so if you have to make a mandatory profile, you have to take ownership of the file, assign yourself and the user rights to the directory, and rename the user.dat to user.man.

Good luck.

Have you checked the domain controller default group policy. when you log on from a client make sure the log on locally policy is enabled. Sounds like once the user logs locally creates the profile if tries to logon with a client there is no logon locally option. Have you figured out the roaming versus mandatory yet?
