Question: 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?

I see group policies for folder redirection, but I don't see any evidence in the article or elsewhere of a policy I can set to specify the roaming profile path that will be set when I add user accounts. Again, that's my question -- I know how to configure roaming profiles for users, but I don't want to specify this path manually each time I add a user, I just want to set this once in a group policy or wherever and have any new accounts that are created pick up this profile path setting automatically.
