I must point out that any attempt to share a single Windows account across multiple users is going to be a security nightmare. All of
your unique users will end up using the same SID.  Even if you are
successful at accessing the profiles in AFS using this solution, on
the local machine file system the users are going to be sharing security
credentials.  It will be very easy for a user to obtain access to the
previous user's profile data simply by disconnecting the ethernet
cable at login time.   There are many other problems with this model
if there is any communication between Windows machines when using the
account.  There are also methods by which the user can place booby
traps for subsequent users.

Sharing local windows accounts is a bad idea.  Please do not do it
unless you fully understand the risks involved.
