You are of course correct, but the profile can be cached on the local
machine, especially if you have a slow connection to the server.

More like 10.

Yes it is, via gpedit.msc you can define how the profiles should be
treated, but i'm not sure that it works the way I intended.

Thing is, i set the whole profile directory to read-only, but still
the user can change the icons a.s.o.
Netware doesn't play a role here, as it is only used for storing the
profile.

I thought that this setup is fairly common, and that somebody had
already done it.
