If there is a need to keep user-related informations like Outlook-settings then there is no reason why not to use roaming profiles, but you have to implement some policies to limit the size of the profiles.
You can (i recommend it) disable the writing back the Temporary internet files, the Temp-Files and all other folders which can grow up (like the desktop).

If you don´t need to keep user-settings, use mandatory profiles for all TS-Users.
You can set different paths for Terminal Server Logon and Loaclly Logon for each user in your domain.

If you are using roaming profiles, make sure that one user can only logon to one server at a time.
If a user has more than one session simultaneusly that can result in a corrupted profile.


hope it helps
