That's a little bit of a "hard guess". Windows can be an
wild environment, and profiles can be even wilder. :-)

AFAICT, when you change the uid you will need to change the
sambaSID and that would break the profile. You can definetely migrate
the profiles (but sorry, I can't give you much info, since I never
migrate user profiles).

There is a great chance that with new sid the workstation
will create a new profile, isn't anything in the Samba Official
HOWTO (Desktop Profile Management Chapter) about this?
