roaming profiles are copied at login from the server to the client. at 
logout they will be copied back...
if netconnection is broken, the client uses the temporary copy on itselves.

if u want to use local profiles, so u have to change the profile type to 
"local" or turn off roaming. (as u did).

if a user logs on first time (in the network when using roaming / on the 
client, when using not) - so windows creates the profile as copy of 
"default user" (at the client/ i did not try, what happens if u create 
default user on the server, but i think it will be functional...). - 4 
details, please refer microsoft doc's.

if i did not misunderstand u (i'm austrian and not to fix in english) - 
i think u should turn *on* roaming...
