Moving server to a new domain

  • I am moving the sqlserver into a new domain.  Is there any gotcha's.  What permissions will I have to replace?

  • not normally although if your server runs under a domain service account you'll have to change it. The safest is to make your service accounts the local system before the move. Make sure you know or reset the sa password ( to be on the safe side )

    Generally SQL Server is very robust and will put up with lots of things. Connectivity will need to be handled as will users if the old domain will not have access any longer and you you have a user base.

    Linked servers and msdtc will need to be checked too.
