Profiles on different Workstations

I work in a school and we have just set up a new computer lab. We now have 2
labs - 1 has computers running Windows 2000 Pro, Office 2000 while the new
one has machines running Windows XP Pro, Office 2007, Autocad 2006. The
students are all configured with a mandatory profile and the desktop icons
are based on the software that is installed on the Windows 2000 machines
(i.e shortcuts to Office 2000 programs and educational software).

Is there a way to configure the Profiles/Group Policies to work on 2
different machines for the same users - I would like to change the current
mandatory profile so when a user opens programs like Word 2007 on the new PC
they do not get the initial setup prompts (i.e. username, Office online...)
and only have the desktop icons available for the software that is actually
installed on that PC. If I change this mandatory profile for the new PCs I'm
worried about the effect it will have on the old PC's.


thanks!
