This sounds a bit more complicated than I had hoped... however I am now
thinking along these lines:
1. Yes they are used as PDCs....
2. If I "unhook" them from the domain and move the users "offline
folders" to their desktops/laptops
3. I simply copy all group shares to a usb disk using an account that
has admin rights (again from a windows client)
4. Reformat and install from scratch
5. set up users
6. connect to domain (computers that is)
7. set up offline/sync partnerships and copy back files from clients
(Windows 7 almost all, rest is Linux and I am still to find a way to
sync client/server files conveniently)
phew

Note that if you are using eBox as your PDC, the method below as

thus you'll need to join all machines to the domain again.
That is right. This method doesn't work with domain-related settings and
should be applied to simple file sharing only (i.e. ebox is not in PDC
mode).
Or, as you have said, Oliver will have to rejoin workstations if he's
already using PDC mode. However, the most important thing (user data)
will be preserved.
