Solution
To disable roaming (server based) profiles on a certain machine, define a Group Policy Object or a local Policy (gpedit.msc) with the following Policy activated:
Computerconfiguration --> Administrative Templates --> System --> Userprofiles --> Only allow local profiles
Make sure that this policy is applied correctly to this machine and take care of your local profiles. If a certain number of users is exceeded, you might want to apply another policy in the same folder:
"delete cached copies of roaming profiles"
