Sid History Domain Users
Their values remain constant across all operating systems.
Sid history domain users. If sids cannot be resolved there the domain controller will send remaining sids to domain controllers in a trusted domain where the domain part of the sid matches the trust information. This stage is when users groups and workstations have all been migrated to the new forest but the application servers still remain in the source domain. In order to migrate domain admins and domain users sid to sidhistory from one forest to another you will need the windows 2003 sp2 support tools download here.
So either way calling the function lsalookupsids or lookupaccountsid the domain controller will always return the local object and this is what you will see. Then make sure the list of members in d u 2 equals that of d u. I am trying to get a powershell script together to go through all users in our domain and find if they have a sidhistory located in the sidhistory attribute or not.
Today i needed to migrate domain admins and domain users sid to sidhistory from an old forest to a new built. What utility can i use to say show me all resources that acl d with domain users. Nt domain called domain users 2 and assign it permissions to any resources that had previously been assigned domain users.
When a user object migrated from one domain to another a new sid must be generated for the user account and stored in the objectsid property. The sidhistory attribute is a property of a security principal users and groups most commonly that maintains the former value of an object s sid. Sids that identify generic users or generic groups is well known.
Before the new value is written to the property the previous value objectsid from source domain is copied to another property of a user object sidhistory in the target domain. To be able to to this you need the windows 2003 sp2 support tools in my situation i needed to run the utils on a windows 2008 r2 x64 os so the following guide needs to be followed. I made the picture here as clear as possible the domain admin sid is pointing to the appropriate value on jane and the administrator sid is pointing to the value.
I then need to export this list of users to a csv as i will need to delete all the accounts without a sidhistory. The administrators and domain admins sids are added to her user account on the sidhistory attribute.
