Hi LPRE, You can use ADMT tool to migrate users from one domain to another domain. When a user is migrated in Active Directory, the Security Identifier (SID) changes for the user. Additionally, the logon information for the user might be changed. Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 store user information based on both the user SID and the user logon information. When the user SID or the user logon information changes in Active Directory, Windows SharePoint Services must be updated with the new user information before the user can access Windows SharePoint Services successfully. For more information about the impact of migrating users on SharePoint, please refer to the following articles: After you migrate a user from a different Active Directory domain, the user can no longer access Windows SharePoint Services http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896593 Introduction to Active Directory Migration Tool v2 for Administrators http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996171%28EXCHG.65%29.aspx Hope this helps.

Hello Rock, thank you for your reply... Unfortuantely our environment doesn't allow the use of ADMT so our "migration" is basically the creation of new accounts, e.g. OLD\USER and NEW\USER. What I want to achieve is that everything in sharepoint, where OLD\USER is displayed (and of course inside the system linked) is changed to NEW\USER... Any idea?!

Hi there, Do you guys know if ADMT can be used with SP 2010 environment to repermission all the accounts from AD to a Global LDAP Directory? Any other tools if ADMT can't do it with SharePoint? Thanks Viz Vishwas
