I had no serious issues doing a couple of classic upgrades so I don't
think it's something to fear.
However I have wondered about doing a new provision with a small
number of network users and setting the domain-sid to be identical, as
well as setting the user sid's identically when adding the users. Not
sure if anyone has tried this but it seems on paper that it should
work and the previous classic domain users should get their previous
profiles when logging on.
