Thanks for your help.
SID Filtering is enabled in our windows 2003 AD (we did
not change the default setting). I migrated few users with
SID History. I logged on to the 2003 AD with a migrated
account and I can access the file shares and email in the
source NT domain.

When I try to access resources in the source domain with a
migrated account, shouldn't the SID Filtering block access
to the resources, since SID History is disabled?

 

I had a file share on a computer in NT domain and had
access to the shares for few NT4 domain accounts. I
migrated those accounts and the computer to the 2003 AD.

Now I can login to 2003 AD with the migrated accounts and
access the file shares on the migrated computer.

Also I can login to the NT4 domain and access the file
shares on the migrated computer.

 

If the SID filtering is enabled, what should we be not
able to access?

I am not sure, but, Windows NT accounts can only have one
SID unlike AD accounts which can have multiple SIDs, so I
don't think we need to disable SID filtering when we
migrate from Windows NT domain. I think we need to disable
SID filtering when we migrate from windows 2000 active
directory.

Am I missing any thing here? Please advice.
