And this is done mearly by changing the root Dir of the mandatory prof
to have a *.man at the end of it?

As opposed the same type of login restriction happening when you set up
the group policy "log off user when roaming profile fails". 

I'd always thought that you only needed to change the Ntuser.dat to a
*.man and there you go. But because of this thread today I found the NT
4.0 specific KB article on setting up mandatories where they discussed
changing the profile folder name as well.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=168476 - KB 168476

In the Windows 2000 KB articles on setting up mandatories they don't
discuss this apparently still functional legacy setup option for
mandatories. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=323368 - KB

Live and learn I guess, too bad MS hasn't documented this behavior well.

 You get more fries with the super.

Actually, as mentioned earlier, a "super" mandatory profile means that
if for someone reason the profile is not available (for whatever
reason), login is DENIED. With regular mandatory profiles, login will
proceed, and you get a default or temp profile.
