Hi Judith,
Much depends on the adaptive software you wish to use, and it's networking
capabilities, but you might want investigate "Roving Profiles" - or whatever
it's equivalent is in Novell. The following will give you some idea of the
options available.

Understanding user profiles
A user profile defines customized desktop environments, which include
individual display settings, network and printer connections, and other
specified settings. You or your system administrator may define your desktop
environment.
Types of user profiles include:
A local user profile, which is created the first time you log on to a
computer and is stored on a computer's local hard disk. Any changes made to
your local user profile will be specific to the computer in which you made
the changes.
A roaming user profile, which is created by your system administrator and is
stored on a server. This profile is available every time you log on to any
computer on the network. Any changes made to your roaming user profile will
be updated on the server.
A mandatory user profile, which is a roaming profiles that can be used to
specify particular settings for individuals or an entire group of users.
Only system administrators can make changes to mandatory user profiles.
