Curently i'm creating a new domain for a small company and migrating users
and resources over from their old domain and I have a question about file
permissions. First off, the environment is all WIndows 2003 DC's and file
servers. I used ADMT v2 to migrate users and groups over and I did migrate
SID's and passwords. Now during testing, users can login to the new domain
but don't have permission to their roaming profiles or shared folders that
reside on servers still on the old domain. From my understanding, migrating
the SID's would allow users access to resources on the old domain. I do have
a two way trust between the domains and can validate them with no issues.
Should I go ahead and bring the servers into the new domain? And if so, would
I need to reset permissions on their folders and profiles? And if you're
going to say "Use the domain renaming tool". The company has a lot of major
issues with their current AD DB and I believe it would be more stable if we
just started from scratch.
Thank you for your time and help!
