It is not abnormal for even NT4 domain controler accounts to be in the
Domain Controllers OU. That is actually what I would expect to see even in
an Active Directory domain.

Since you are dealing with a profile issue, it might help to see a
userenv.log file from a user logging in and off. It will show what is
happening with the profile for the user.

and has a NT4 as a DC (appears in the domain controllers OU, which is
abnormal, isn' t it? The Domain Functional Level is "windows Server 2003
interim"). The workstation is WinXP. and the NTConfig.pol has the policy
disabled (the check box is cleared.)
