You will benefit a lot by reading the section about redirected profile
folders. I suppose it will do what you want.
I sometimes use local profiles for my users except for the "My
Documents", "Desktop", "Favorites", "Application Settings", etc. which
are redirected and reside on the PDC.
Besides some particular cases, the use of full roaming profiles is just
not convenient these days because users keep gigabytes of files in their
folders. The workstation would take a eternity to login to the domain.
Redirected folders solve this problem since the files never leave the
server and are available to all workstations from which the user logs in.
