Move servers to alternate domain

[neonetman]

I have a network with 2 domains connected via a trust. We have 2 servers we need to move from one domain to the other:-

 

* standard print server

* SQL server running SIMS

 

If I simply unjoin from one domain and join the other domain (obviously updating any service accounts, dns entries etc.) would you expect me to hit any major snags, or would this be straight forward?

For the print server, yes, you can move that fairly easily - you'll just need to sort out your permissions on any shared printers. If you run anything like PaperCut on it, that would complicate it.

 

For the SQL server, no. You can't really move those across domains. Your best bet is to do a full server migration, using the instructions from Capita/your support unit.
