Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

I have a computer lab and would like to force multiple Active Directory logins (not at same time)to use the local user account on these PCs. I don't want multiple profiles created unless they are deleted at the end of the users session (also worry about corrupting SIDs). This will allow these machines to be managed through group policy and users to be authenticated in AD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What do you mean by 'into'? What are you trying to achieve? If you add the computer to the domain the users in AD will be managed by AD policies and will be able to log onto the machine. Are these single-use profiles (like one-time logins?)? If so, search for a script that deletes user profiles when they log out.

This question contradicts itself. You cannot have multiple user accounts in AD all use the same local account. This simply isn't possible. You either login using an AD account or you login using a local account.

Multipls AD accounts being used on a single machine cannot use the same shared profile between all account. Each account will get a copy of a "template" profile, either the default or a modified version of it.
