I think the solution to my situation maybe in the use of the 'Security Translation Wizard' to repalce old SID with new.<br />

Any thoughts welcome.

I have two domains (one NT4 &amp;&nbsp;one 2003) that I want to migrate into a third (2003). &nbsp;I intend to use SID history to save re-permissioning all resources/file shares (will be done at a later date).<br />
<br />
My questions is; &nbsp;If I migrate with SID History (which I've tested and works okay) and then remove the source domains will the access to resources still work? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I guess with the source domain gone, when I view the security on a resource I will not be able to view the group/user names permissioned for it but just see the SID of the now removed group/user... true? &nbsp;But will access still be possible?<br />
<br />
Hope this makes sense!<br />

Microsoft, Active Directory, 2003, SID History - Is source domain necessary for history to work?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
