Hi

This is a 2 part question.

Scenario.

We have SharePoint Services SP2 on Windows 2003 SP2 set up on our Web
server in our DMZ Domain. Domain = "DMZ".

We have an internal corporate domain. Domain "LAN"

We were recently aquired by another company and we will be migrating all our
current user accounts to a new child domain in the new company.
Domain = "Child"

We will be using the Active Directory Migration tool to move our our
accounts from Domain LAN to Domain Child.

Will I need to reset all the access permisions for our users once they have
been migrated to the Child Domain or is there a tool that can be ran on the
Web Server (Or else where) that can I dentify which users had a
LAN\Useraccount and create them a Child\useraccount logon to SharePoint
services with the same permisions.

Question 2)
Can I change the domain that the SQL server holding the back end database is
in from LAN to Child without breaking anything?

The Web server sitting in the DMZ Domain will remain in the DMZ domain.
There is no plan to rename this domain.

Thank you for any help or advice that you can offer.

Kevan

Hi Kevan,
generally this isn't recommended scenario.
Look at http://blogs.technet.com/akieft/:

12. Migrating SPS/WSS between domains


and here documentation on technet:
Migrating User Accounts in Windows SharePoint Services:
http://blogs.technet.com/wbaer/archive/2008/03/08/migrating-user-accounts-in-windows-sharepoint-services.aspx


There is no such tool that would re-create user account with proper
priviliges once moved to new domain.
To be 100% sure check:
http://www.codeplex.com/Project/ProjectDirectory.aspx?TagName=Sharepoint

they have a lot of non-standard stuff to make wss/sharepoint more managable.
