Thats great and I am aware of this solution but we can't use mandatory
profiles or we would. Users need to be able to change their Outlook and word
settings to their preference.

I am publishing two farms one NT 4.0/MF 1.8 and one Win2k/MF XP all from
one NFuse 1.6 applications page (using columbia to combine farms). I
use a mandatory profiles on each server, and point every user in the
domain to the following TS profile path:
\\%COMPUTERNAME%\profiles$\default.man
No matter what server they connect to they get the mandatory profile
that is stored on that computer (You do of course have to create a
profile on each server and make a profiles$ share). It maybe Win2k or
NT4.0. The initial setup for the main profile takes a little bit of
work, and you when you make changes/updates you have to make the same on
each of the servers (I write simple scripts), but over all
administration is very simple and straight forward. This also allow
each server to be independent of a centralizes profile server.

We use roaming profiles stored on a network share. While we are on the
subject of profiles, is anyone running citrix apps via Nfuse(1.6) in a
mixed
NT 4 and 2000 environment? The problem we have is that our apps are
published via Nfuse between NT 4 and 2000 servers. If a user opens up a
2000
app first and then goes to open up Outlook which is on the NT 4.0
server
their cache and other settings end up pointing to a nonexistend
documents
and settings/profilename folder because NT 4 stores that info in
profiles.
This causes them to lose the ability to open attachments in Outlook
because
there is no folder for them to cache it into.
In other words when they log into a 2000 app their cache key in their
profile gets set to documents and settings, then if they log into
outlook
even if they closed the 2000 app their cache folder under the shell
folders
key in the registry is set to point to documents and settings instead
of
the winnt/profiles directory. They can't open attachments until we
open the
profile in Regedt32 and delete the cache key again. If users open any
app on
the NT 4 servers first and then open the 2000 app they don't have the
problem because the cache directory gets pointed to the proper place.
This
is probably something hybrid profiles might fix but it is a pretty
aggravating problem.
