You can absolutely store your Windows profile in AFS. The problem you are going to have if you are not using Active Directory is how are you going to map the Windows Account's Profile to the path in AFS. You can't do it with LDAP so you are going to have to figure out so other way of configuring it within the framework you are using for Windows account management.
How does AD do this then, Windows RPCs or what if it doesn't use kerberos or LDAP for this?
The Windows client workstation is joined to a DOMAIN. It shares a secret with the Domain Controllers. When the machine boots it looks
for the Domain Controllers and does machine startup things.
When a user logs in with the name DOMAIN\user, it goes to the domain and obtains the account info.
When a user logs in with the name [EMAIL PROTECTED], it goes to the domain to see if this name is mapped to a Domain account.
It does this via RPCs.
