I've used the "user profile path" function in NT for my users to have a profile on the server. The problem i have is each time a use logs into the server from a new PC a copy of the profile is created locally (Great) but when the logoff it's left on the client PC. Can anyone tell me how to remove this profile from the client pc once the user has logged out. Thanks Adam....

You may want that local copy to stay there....
When the profiles get big it may take a while to login. The local copy allows the pc to check for updates, and only copy the necessary files off the server....
If nothing has changed the user is logged in instantly.
That said, you are a big boy, so here you go:
Run Regedit.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Make a new DWORD value called DeleteRoamingCache and press Enter
Double click the new value and set to 1
Click OK.
