sharepoint domain change

[Gerhard]

I have a SharePoint server that I want to move to a different domain. I made
a virtual copy of it, and have it running (mostly) in the new domain. The
only area I seem to be having issues with are the application pools.
Everything seems to run fine if I use the farm administrator account in the
application pool, but if I set the pools to run with different users then I
get permission denied errors. I have the application pool users set up as
domain admins, have domain admins in the local administrator group, have them
with db_owner permissions on the database (all these are the same as the farm
administrator). These are all accounts that worked fine on the old domain,
but under the new domain I am getting the access denied error (which is not
helpful at all, as it just gives the name of the account that is logged in,
which I am using the farm administrator account for). I've updated the farm
credentials, migrated the users (these both with stsadm) and rerun the
configuration wizard. Is there something I can do to get these accounts
running the application pools correctly?

I posted a question twice yesterday, but it is not showing up, so am
reposting it. I am trying to migrate a SharePoint 2007 machine to another
domain. The only remaining issue is on the application pools, where they
work with the farm administrator account, but not with the accounts that were
previously working (and have been migrated to the new domain). I have run
MigrateUser and Update Farm credentials and also rerun the configuration
wizard. I can get into Central Admin, SSP and the home page fine as long as
the application pools are using the farm administrator account, but get
access denied errors if I switch back to the individual accounts. The
acccounts all have db_owner permission on SQL Server for the MOSS tables,
they are also Domain Admins. What else do I need to do so I can use them in
the application pools as identies?

Thanks.

I figured this out, if you change the app pools via Go into Central
Administration -> Operations -> Service Accounts it works okay.

The full steps that got the new domain working for me were:

Change domain

Make sure you can ping the sql server in the new domain.

Run updatefarmcredentials on the account used in the app pool for Central
Admin (using stsadm). Run IISRESET

Change the other app pools as above, then run IISRESET.

Go through the local services and make sure any accounts from old domain are
changed to the current domain.

Run migrateusers through stsadm for all service accounts.

At this point all was working okay for me.

There may be a better way that will get answered by Microsoft on this post,
but I couldn't keep waiting, so the last three days (since post) was spent
figuring this out.

Hi,

I am facing a similar issue. My sharepoint Box had an AD setup which got blew away, Now we have the box attached to another domain, How do i get this domain attached to the sharepoint installation. I'm sure i will have to create users again.

Thanks,
Pallavi
