The problem here is that the profile on each local workstation is
preceeded by a portion of the SID which identifies the _old_ domain,
followed by information relevant to the user.  If you read up on how to
manipulate SID information in the NT environment you may be able to
script something that repopulates the network portion of those SIDs with
the newer information.
