When a user accesses his account for the first time, Windows copies an initial profile for the user from C:\Documents and Settings\Default User.
This is not ideal because the Default User directory is local to every machine and not easy to customize. We would rather have this on our server. This fortunately is a features which is built into windows already. When you login on a machine and windows can not find your profile it first looks for a directory called
%LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\Default User
if this exists its contents is used as a default profile for the user. Windows will only use the local Default User if this global directory does not exist.
