Hello,
Thanks for your post.
In your post, you mentioned that you have successfully migrated most all of
your 3000 users and workstations to our new domain structure. I want to
know how do you achieve the goal. Do you fullfill this by using ADMT?
In the mean time, based on your post, I understand you have two concerns as
following:
Q1: I am concerned about the system accounts SQL runs on -- some are local
and some are domain account.
We know SQL has two types accounts and the migration method should be
different from which account you use on different SQL Servers. It would be
better that the DBA manually change the account to startup the service.
However, this is a SQL Server related question, please post this question
to SQL newsgroup since the SQL server experts will provide more accurate
information on this:
Microsoft.public.sqlserver
With regards to migrating the computer local account, I have searched in
Google and found a third-party application called Member Server Migrator
can fulfill this goal:
Member Server Migrator (MSVR-Migrator)
http://www.winzero.ca/MSVR-Migrator.htm
Winzero MSVR-Migrator makes it simple to seamlessly migrate local users,
passwords, local groups, folders and shares from Windows member server to
member server while keeping security and rights intact.
Note: The third-party product discussed is manufactured by a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding this product's performance or reliability.
Q2: If they used integrated windows authentication with the old domain
global groups, will that automatically translate to the migrated global
group, or will the dba's have to change it manually? If they translate,
will I encounter a problem once I turn off SID history?
I would like to confirm do you mean you want to migrate the old domain
global groups to the new domain or the old domain global groups in SQL
Server?
If you plan to migrate the old domain global groups to the new domain, it
is possible that some built-in groups cannot be migrated to the new domain,
you can use ADMT Group Account Migration Wizard to migrate Global Groups.
Please take a look at the following article to see if it addresses your
concerns:
