Thanks for replying Steven.

The DFS solution is a neat way of downloading profile from
the nearest server.

My main question still hasn't been answered though. Why
are the environmental variables being expanded at the
moment I close the properties dialog of a user account on
ADUC.

Does ADUC not support environmental variables expanding
at 'runtime' any more.
