New computer, several domain users, profile problems

I have successfully set up new domain users and their computer on the
domain. I have 6 users in ADUC, and have not added them as local users
on the computer. I added one user, not as local user, but as domain
user. I logged on as local machine administrator, and installed
software. I copied the local machine administrator's account to the
other domain user. When I logged on as the domain user, I did not have
access to software and settings. When setting up several users on the
local machine do you have to put them on as local users first? This
means maybe 2 profiles per person and many profiles. I would love to
have some advice!

move the administrator profile to the Default User profile (if no
other users profiles currently exist) or the All Users profile (if
other users profiles exist) and be sure to set the security settings
on the folder correctly so that new users can access the profile.

needed

I added one user to the local machine, and all users to ADUC (I used
copy to command on local computer under system, advanced, profiles).
Is your suggestion to create a base profice for the local users also
known as mandatory profiles? Should I be doing this in a W2k3
environment? Thanks!

Won't I still have multiple profiles on one local machine? I am trying
to avoid this because these users change frequently. Or if they are
are under all users, will that not create mutiple user profiles on the
local machine because they are point to the All Users profile? Thanks!
 
Re: New computer, several domain users, profile problems

What i proprosed is to create a default profile with all the settings needed

If your users move alot, you may use GPO to remove their local profile at
logoff (they would have a roaming profile not to loose their settings)
