You need a Samba PDC with support for roaming profiles.

If you've already got the machines and the server, samba PDC is the way

It can also do automagic printer configuration etc, so it's pretty
functional.

Check the samba documentation or google for more howtos.  If you get
stuck, mail the list again.
