Make the folder on the server Read Only that way it cannot copy any changes back up to the server and you dont have to mess around with scripts.

i want to bring to your attention that this account "Exam" is created inside OU that apply a special GPO "restrictions" that can't access properties in my computer. also  when i try to login it doesnt give me like a notice in the startup that im logging in through roaming profile.

Yes, it will not give you a special notice simply because you are using a roaming / mandatory profile.

If you want to create a custom logon message that displays when they logon you can create / edit a GPO associated with the OU that the Exam account is under in the following manner:
