XP pro client in NT server domain

I have an entirely NT4 LAN/WAN at this time. Having problems with a new XP pro box as a client. The problem is the profiles. We run Citrix, BTW. She logs in only locally in the office, and through Citrix from home. Yes, we set up different directories for the two profiles, but XP is screwing up profile settings for everything. Seems to drag over profiles settings from the server that are not 100% compatible. So far, after much tweaking, it's stable today. If someone else logs into hers or she logs in elsewhere, their profiles are buggered.

I am assuming you are talking about roaming profiles, and that these are not copying back to your PDC from XP. To have your roaming profiles working under XP you will need to authenticate to a W2K Server. Otherwise make sure you are using a locally stored profile on your XP machine and do not use a roaming profile under NT
