Is this a domain machine - i.e., are you logging on with a domain administrator account?

Usually this happens when you log on as a domain account with the same name as the local account (in this case, Administrator) - you'll get a profile folder "Administrator" for the local user, and "Administrator.DOMAIN" for the domain user. Usually, though, autologon logs in with the local administrator account, and not the domain admin account. However, if you reg edit or script your CD to log on as a domain admin, you're going to get .DOMAIN folders, and there's really no way around that happening. You can keep from getting an "Administrator.DOMAIN" folder, and the ways to keep this from happening would be to:

A. Not join the machine to the domain

B. Rename the Administrator account, either on the domain, or on the local PC

Changing the administrator account name on the domain is actually a GOOD idea, and creating a limited, disabled, locked out account called "administrator" on the domain is also something to consider. I'd say B. is your best bet, honestly, if the machine needs to join the domain during build.
