Windows Domain change
- Hi,
Currently we are using SharePoint 2007 server with Windows domain account. Due to SOE (Standard Operating Environment), my company is planning to change to the NEW domain account.
Since the current user profile and AD is tagged with OLD domain, how to resolve this issue. How should I map with the NEW domain account.
Pl. advice
Thanks

Hi,
For your situation, you can migrate SharePoint from the old SharePoint farm to the new SharePoint farm, then migrate old domain user accounts to your new Active Directory.
For migrating users between domains, even though you have used the Active Directory Migration Tool to migrate your users from Domain A to Domain B, and have chosen to preserve SID history, users in Domain B are logging in to MOSS 2007 as though they are new users. In order to migrate the users over you will need to use the STSADM command listed below.
stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin DOMAIN \ user -newlogin DOMAIN \ user [-ignoresidhistory]
This command must be run on a per user basis. As this is the case, it may be advantageous to write a custom application that will pull users programmatically and update them all at once. Another option for this would be to use PowerShell to do the same. More information about the stsadm command listed above can be found in the KB Articles linked below.

A user can no longer access SharePoint Portal Server 2003 after you migrate that user from one Active Directory domain to another Active Directory domain

The commands above work for users, but not for groups. Domain Groups will have to be manually added back to SharePoint and re-assigned the appropriate rights.

Hi Rock Want,
Thanks for reply. I have explored web reg. STSADM tool. There is only one step to migrate users from old to new domain using stsadm –o migrateuser.
As mentioned in your reply "you can migrate SharePoint from the old SharePoint farm to the new SharePoint farm". Do I really need to migrate my SharePoint farm as well?
Is it not sufficient to migrate the domain for the users using STSADM tool (stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin DOMAIN\user -newlogin DOMAIN\user [-ignoresidhistory])
Pl. advice. Thanks.
Regards
Sanra
