On this new Acer (TMC303XMI-SP2) Tablet PC, a roaming profile is being
created by default when I try to login on the domain. There are no roaming
profiles setup in the network and the server is Windows NT 4.0. The roaming
profile is not saved when the user logs out nor can it be switched from local
to roaming in Windows. All other workstations are Windows 2000 Professional
and there are no profile issues whatsoever on these PCs.

I have not encountered this problem ever with the regular version of XP Pro.
Is this a Tablet PC issue? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

David, I'm not that familiar with NT 4.0 and the roaming profiles. It seems
something else is going on if you don't have any at all, but I've asked MVP
Charlie Russel to drop by when he gets a chance (later today) to see if he
can assist. He's very much a server person. 8-)

Tablet PC's don't do anything special (beyond XP Professional) when they
log onto a domain network. To the domain, they are seen as just another
Windows XP Professional machine. It's been a LONG time since I ran on an NT4
domain, and I no longer even have it available to test against. But my
tablets log onto this Windows 2003 domain every day, without issues. No
forcing to roaming profiles. So I'd have to say one of two things --
something is amiss on the machine itself, or something on the NT4 domain
controller(s) is forcing a roaming profile to that machine or user account.
