Yes, there's a way to do that. But it doesn't solve the problem of 
having to transfer maybe hundreds of megabytes or even worse each time 
you log in to the domain. Back when the idea of roaming profiles was 
first put to practice (Windows 2000), user profiles were MUCH smaller 
than they are today.

So, the use of roaming profiles with folder redirection seems to me the 
most appropriate way to deal with this.

Please note that the "Local Settings" component of the profile should 
not be redirected.
