Vista not retaining profile information

We've recently started upgrading our machines to vista and on a couple of our
machines we've got the problem where the user account never seems to be able
to retain the profile information.

When we first set up the machine we set a generic account (user name delete
me) which we then delete after we've joined the computer to the domain.
Before we log on for the first time we add in the user of that machine (Their
domain account) so that we can give them administrative rights.

When they log on though, whilst it contacts the server (we know this as it
pulls though logon scripts we've configures in AD) it doesn't seem to manage
to find the users profile information and so creates a temporary one.

Loging on as a different user doesn't have this problem.

Solved It!
(at least for me)
This problem solved itself when we removed the user logging on from various
groups. I'm afraid i didn't bother trying to narrow it down to a perticular
one but I should imagine it was Domain Guests or similar as apparently Vista
deals with those groups slightly diffently and only allows member to have
temporary profiles.
