NT4 - Win 2003 Migration and Sid History

[evz]

I hope someone can suggest something here.....

We are in the process of migrating from an NT4 Domain to a Win 2003 Domain, All the users have been migrated, and also all of the groups

However I have found that we were using some permissions on our Fileserver using some of the Built In Groups in the NT4 Domain - eg Domain Admins.

I have found out that Built in Groups cannot be migrated - so we have a problem where anyone who was previously in Domain Admins cannot access File on our Server that is still in the NT4 Domain . Users who were in non built in groups are fine because the groups have migrated correctly.

The only method I can see of fixing this is to go through every folder and add permissions to a newly created group in the new WIn 2003 domain, unless anyone has any good ideas

cheers

I hate to say it, but your idea is about the best I can see. This is probably why (indirectly) they suggest creating your own Groups and adding these to Built-In Groups, rather than adding users directly into Built-In Groups! Don't get me wrong, I have added Users to the Built-In Users group before, and also to some others, and as we are about to upgrade too, am worried about this!
But what you say makes sense with my knowledge of Built-in groups, and I can't think of any other way for you. Sorry.

hth,
