Moveing MOSS ( SharePoint WSS 3.0 ) to a new server in a new domain
Hi All,
I have a hard task ahead of me and need some help. Basically I need to move my SharePoint setup from one server to anohter but the catch is they are in different domains, I can see guides on the net to move to another server but not new domain.
The SQL database will remain intact on the same server however the Web Front Ends will be moved. What do I need to back up? And how do I start the reinstallation and migration. Thanks for your help in advance.

A key question is will the SQl database server be on the same domain as it is now? And, will the WFE's be on a different domain than the SQL server?

Your right that is akey question and I have thought aout this. I think it is easeir to create a database and restore my files in the same domain as my WFE. Have you got any other advce?

The first question that comes to mind is :
Do the users of the SharePoint site stay in the same domain?

Yes, and the accounts will become orphaned. There is actually another question on this site I answered on writing a small custom application to migrate accounts. That is why I asked the author if they had a fully configured site. Copying the permissions isn't trivial.
