It rather depends what the client has in both it's registry and
under C:\Documents and Settings.

Windows can be rather inconsistent if it wants to use
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME% or C:\Documents and
Settings\%USERNAME%.%DOMAIN%

Also it will first look for a prototype profile in
\\%LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\Default User then in
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User.

The former being better documented in the Samba Docs than
in the MS Docs.
