  We have a SQL Server 2016 Enterprise install on a machine in another domain. The SysAdmins are working toward shutting off the domain the machine is in. The machine name isn't going to change just the domain it is in. The SQL Server service accounts are already running in the target domain. From what I can tell, since the actual machine name isn't changing, I'm not going to need to do anything. Can anyone advise differently?

  Is this just the database engine - nothing else is being used or migrated such as replication, log shipping, SSIS, SSRS, etc?

  Are the logins using the old domain? Anything pointing to the old domain with operators, job owners, database owners?
