copy Windows 7 domain user profile settings

We are installing windows7 enterprise throughout our company, and we are spending way too much time configuring all the settings that are profile specific (display, startmenu, folder options, etc)

Is there a way to create a master profile template for domain users, and then apply that so no matter how many people login to the machine, they will all recieve the same desktop settings?

Thanks in advance, this would greatly speed up the process.

You can control several of those settings through GPO. What level of AD functionality do you have?

Forest and Domain level are 2003. All DC's are 2003.

You will need to install the Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 schema extensions to do so. Do you need directions on how to do that?

Yes please. Are you saying that I can install these extension on our current 2003 DC? Also, is a reboot involved?

The answer was probably correct but I could not test this due to the fact that my environment did not meet the minimum requirement.
