Hi
My main concern was the filling up of the local disk with user profiles. 
A user may for example only log onto one particular box once and then 
never again.

Of the three you mention above, which one corresponds to 'always read 
the profle from the server and store nothing on the local disk'?

Thanks,
Steve
