Change the UniqueID for the _sophos user

I read the KB article on the _sophos user, and I'm wondering if changing the UniqueID on the user will negatively affect how Sophos runs? I want to do this for a couple minor reasons. The first, when our Mac managment software runs reports on computers, any user with a UniqueID over 500 shows up. So we have the _sophos user showing up on all our mac computers. Second, sometimes we deploy dmg files that have a different 503 user. So I don't want to have to either re-package the dmg files, or run a chown command if I don't have to.

I found all the files on the Mac system associated with the _sophos user using "find / -user _sophos". Other than these files would there be anything else that needs to changed or would be negatively affected?
