Recently, we moved our Microsoft CRM Server (single box 
deployment) from one location to another and now none of 
the users are able to log in.

We've determined that it's because the server used to be 
part of a trust relationship with the network it used to 
be a part of, so the user's accounts in AD reference a 
domain that no longer exist (in the new location).

Is the right thing to do to create a new user account 
under the new domain?  Wont all the users' old 
information (accounts, activities, contacts..) no longer 
be visible to them?  I guess we could reassign 
everything, except the completed/cancelled activities, 
right?  Or is there a way to make those visible as well?  
Are there any other drawbacks to this approach as well as 
alternatives?

these tools allow you to move a CRM system one one domain to another. Can
you confirm what you were actually doing as it does appear you have taken a
CRM system server and dropped it into another domain?

Hi John,

The CRM system server was in one physical location and 
was part of a trust set up with a domain that it is no 
longer a part of.  It's been moved to a different 
location and now is the Domain Server in the new location.

If I could just remove the reference to the previous 
domain from the user accounts I think everything would be 
ok, but this is not possible in the Microsoft CRM 
Settings User forms.

I'd really rather not reinstall and redeploy MS CRM if at 
all possible ...and it seems that this is what the tools 
you point me to do.

Can I not create a new set of users (same as the old ones 
but with the correct domain) in AD reassign the existing 
licenses to the new users and then reassign the contacts, 
accounts etc to the new users?  The system has no 
customizations or custom reports of any importance, so it 
seems like this might be a more expedient way of doing 
things.  What are the drawbacks to this approach?

Hi John,

We have 2 NICs on our server and have setup exchange / 
CRM.

So... In theory changing the domain on the external card 
should present no problems. Do you thing that will work 
ok.

e.g.

our internal domain is mycompany.local
our external domain id mycompany.co.uk

We want to relocate the server to mycompany.com

Do you think that will have any effect on the crm?

Thanks
Barry

Rafael,

Take a look at the redeployment tool as in this case, I think that's what you
really need.  CRM tracks the SID of the AD objects internally so moving into a
new Domain is next to impossible.
