Have you specifically turned off roaming profiles on the XP (Assuming XP

Assuming XP, you control roaming profiles on the XP machine, not the

If the username already exists on the machine as a local account, and then
you join the domain and logon with the same username, it creates this.
That is how it distinguishes the two different (in it's opinion) usernames.
Make sure you have no local accounts (using usernames you want to use) on

If you are using xp clients, you can call a logoff script using local group

As part of your logon script import a registry key to set the logoff script.
