HI Team,
We are in the need to migrating SharePoint 2016 from one domain to another domain. We have created a new environment (in the new domain) and attached the databases. Now , we would need to migrate the user and we are confused whether we would need to user move-spuser or SPFarm.MigrateUserAccount Method as we are targeting to move the user at the farm level.
Move-SPUser looks as correct approach for your scenario. E.g. in the following post it is used in similar scenario as yours: Migrate SharePoint Users from One Domain To Another using Move-SPUser. Try that with some single user account (or few accounts) and see will it work as you expect.
Hi,
We followed the same approach and created a script created a script to change the users at the web application level and it removes all the existing permission.
Move-SPUser will translate all identities for a user across the entire farm and would be the appropriate method to use. I suggest you run following PowerShell as the Farm Administrator or a user with Full Control over the User Profile Service Application.
$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "DomainA\user1" -Web http://sitecollectionUrl
Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias "DomainB\user1" -IgnoreSid
