We are moving from our company location to another location with different network and different domain.at the first location we are using sharepoint server 2007 on windows server 2003 at the location that we are moving to,we are trying to install sharepoint server 2007 on windows server 2008,so I installed sherepoint server 2007,opened the site ,it got opened with me,took restore from the old company location,tried to restore it on the new location got error hresult ox80040e05,also when i tried to open the site ,i got error accesss denied does moving sharepoint to different domain not on same network require more steps

hi, Try to open the site by the new farm account and check the permissions that assigned to the users , you have to be in the same domain or there's trust between the new domain and the old domain to get access with your old account

how can the 2 domains be trusted,is it something to be done from sharepoint

This is done from the Domain Level , you can refer back to your system administrator

Hi, Look into the STSADM operation migrateuser to move permissions from your old domain accounts to your new one: stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin DOMAIN \ user -newlogin DOMAIN \ user [-ignoresidhistory] Make sure if you had any managed paths in your old environment that you duplicate them in the new one. After you migrate a user from a different Active Directory domain, the user can no longer access Windows SharePoint Services http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;896593 The whole article about move SharePoint Server 2007 from a domain to another. Please refer to the following link: http://www.sharepointdev.net/sharepoint--setup-upgrade-administration-operation/move-sharepoint-2007-from-a-domain-to-another-2693.shtml I wish you every success in your important work.
