The first is standard behaviour for roaming profiles - a locally cached copy
is made for performance reasons when the user logs on, and copied back to
the network location when the user logs off. I don't believe that it is
possible to completely prevent a local copy from being made, but it is
possible to change the location (see Q214470) or set the local copies to be
deleted when the user logs off (Q268828). (As I recall, the profiles weren't
always deleted when we tried that a couple of years ago)
If you still have an NT4 (ie non-AD) domain, you can select multiple
accounts in User Manager for Domains and set the paths as
\location\%username%. If you're using AD that won't work but you could do it
with a script. I used to use a Citrix utility called WFPROF.EXE that would
set this from the command-line. If you need it it's available from here:

Subject: NT 4.0 TSE profiles
Two questions about user profiles on Terminal Server.
1. I have specified on the profile tab of each user account the location I
want for the TS profile path and TS home directory. However, when the user
logs in, a profile is still created under c:\wtsrv\Profiles. How can I
prevent the c:\wtsrv\Profiles from being created? I don't want them in two
locations and I don't want them on the C: drive.
2. Is there a place where I can specify the locations I want as
\location\%username% and have that used as the default instead of having to
specify it on every user. I have looked around, but can't find any place to
put this.
Thanks, Michelle
