How to configure roaming profile paths automatically for newly created domain users?

How do I setup Windows Server (2003) to default newly created domain users to be configured with a roaming profile path?



Let's say I have roaming profiles stored at the path \\server\profiles\. Is there some key or policy that I can set the default profile path to something like:



\\server\profiles\$username



without me having to remember to configure the profile path for each newly created user manually?



NOTE: See my similar question on AskMetaFilter for a bit more info:

I can't give you the answer but perhaps I can guide you. There are two ways that I can think of and each involves the same thing. A script. You can create one that will set the user's profile path to whatever you need it to. Then any time you create a new user, just run your script.



The other way is also using a script but you make it run at startup. You would put it in the logon script of the policies.
