I'd like to create a Samba server with some shares that have access controlled via accounts on the domain, but without joining the machine to the domain? Is this possible?

I'm running VMware Server 2 and have created Virtual Machine Shortcuts for our various VMs. How do I save the VM login/password so I don't need to enter it each time I launch the shortcut?
I'm looking into moving a small non-profit business from a desktop-based Quickbooks Pro setup to Intuit's QuickBooks Online service. I'm primarily looking for a more reliable setup for them, as they've had reliability issues with their server from time to time, and don't have the funds to hire any IT personnel. I'm only able to help them out on a volunteer basis irregularly. QuickBooks features that they are currently using include: multi-user (2-3 users), payroll, billing
I've seen the page on Intuit's site comparing the desktop and online products, but I'm looking for reports from first-hand experience and comments on anything that Intuit might not be disclosing in their comparison.
I'm wanting to be able to login in to the OS X GUI remotely, in the background, i.e. without interrupting anyone that is currently sitting in front of the machine.
Apple Remote Desktop or VNC don't cut it -- they only permit management of the machine from the console session. I realize I can get a remote ssh login, but I need to be able to get a full, standard GUI login.
Is this possible?
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?
