asked on File Server Domain Change
I currently have 2 domains. xyz.com and wxy.local. I inherited wxy.local in an aquisition and am looking to move to a single domain xyz.com. Currently the 2 domains are in a trust and since we use Citrix on xyz.com users have an account in both domains as well for Citrix authentication. The question I have is, if I set all their xyz.com permissions on the file servers in wxy.local and move the server to the xyz.com domain. Will I lose all the permission settings? Or since the accounts were placed there prior to the domain change wiill they still work?

Sadly no capacity to do it any other way but to pull the trigger and hope the xyz.com settings stick when I move it from one domain to the other. Or pull the trigger and spend all night rebuilding the permission structure before everyone comes in the next day.
I will test the workstation idea tomorrow, wish I had thought of doing it before posting the question and I will update after I see what happens.

Thank you guys for the help. I was able to test and moving from Domain B to Domain A after setting A's permissions on the folders worked flawlessly and the permissions stayed in tact. I appreciate the help
You could use cacls to check the current security settings.
There are scripts available online and referenced in posts on EE that can help in transferring share configurations from one system to another.
