Domain Transfer?
Hello, I have my sharepoint websites on a domain, and this domain is on my Virtual Assistant's name. I want to transfer the control to myself, so how do I register a new domain with sharepoint and transfer my content and cancel old one? We both dont know how to do it. Can someone please guide? Regards

Hi, Thanks to share your post. For the issue, do you mean that you want to migrate the SharePoint site to the different domain? If yes, there are two ways to achieve this: 1. Backup the complete environment. Navigate to Central Administration -> Operations -> Perform a Backup and backup entire farm. If there is any problem with UI then use command line option: stsadm -o backup -directory c:\backup – backupmethod full 2. Run the products and configuration wizard to break the configuration. 3. Remove from existing domain. 4. Join to New domain. 5. Run the products and Configuration wizard and configure the new SharePoint environment. 6. Restore the web applications 7. Note: - Don’t restore the configuration wizard and Administration Content Database. The other choice: 1. Take the SharePoint farm backup from old SharePoint server 2. Created a new server in the new domain 3. Install SQL standard edition on the same server 4. Install MOSS 2007 as COMPLETE installations 5. Connect it to the SQL server by running the SharePoint products and technology wizard 6. Restore the old SharePoint farm back to the newly install SharePoint server 7. Created security groups in the active directory and add users inside the group 8. Go to the newly restore SharePoint site and add those security groups with appropriate permission And here is also an article may help you: http://justgeeks.blogspot.com/2007/09/moving-sharepoint-to-new-active.html.
