As I understand things, there are problems with doing this. There are, I am
lead to believe, SIDs embedded in some of the files, and, Samba does not
allocate RIDs the same way NT does, so the SIDs in the profile can be invalid.

However, perhaps I am wrong. OTOH, all it might take is a tool that can
find the SIDS and remap them?
