SQL Server 2005 domain migration & renaming

  • I have to do an SQL Server 2005 domain migration & renaming

    Is my checklist complete?

    Is there an impact if the "Database Owner" is from the old domain?

    --Domain migration

    security tab of the sql server:

    check old domain groups/add new domain groups

    sql services::

    deactivate all sql services

    change the service accounts to the new domain accounts

    domain::

    change the domain of the server

    Reboot and activate the deactivated services.

    --Rename SQL Server with default instance

    Pre-Step Delete all your maintenance plans and recreate them after you changed the name

    sp_dropserver <old_name>

    GO

    sp_addserver <new_name>, local

    GO

    As long as the domain still exists and there is a trust relationship between the two - then no impact. It is better to make sure the DB Owner is an account that exists.

    --Domain migration

    security tab of the sql server:

    check old domain groups/add new domain groups

    sql services::

    deactivate all sql services

    change the service accounts to the new domain accounts

    domain::

    change the domain of the server

    Reboot and activate the deactivated services.

    --Rename SQL Server with default instance

    Pre-Step Delete all your maintenance plans and recreate them after you changed the name

    sp_dropserver <old_name>

    GO

    sp_addserver <new_name>, local

    GO

    Looks like you have it covered.
