Moving File Server Into New Domain

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Iâ??m going through a domain migration and Iâ??ve done users, workstations,
Exchange, and now its time for the file servers.

I have a trust between Domain OLD and Domain NEW.
For the file servers Iâ??ve replicated user permissions on each folder so that
any folder with an entry for dOLD\user now also has an entry for dNEW\user.
This has worked great but since my goal is to retire Domain OLD I want to
move the file sever into the new domain.

My question is this:

If I move the file server from Domain OLD to Domain NEW will my permission
erase?

TIA,

Ray

Hello Ray,

Why not using robocopy and copy the complete data to the new server including
the folder permissions?

Best regards

Ray,
Permissions are defined by ACLs assigned to resources - they won't change if
you switch the domain membership...

Hello,

How did you migrate your domain objects from old domain to new domain?

If your used ADMT to migrate User account and group to new domain and eabled
SID history, the permission of old user and group of old domain will
auomatically tranlate to new domain account and group.

BTW, if you didn't migrate with ADMT, the permission of domain account and
group will display as "Unknown" and users CANNOT access their folders.
