we have a cron job that rebuilds both daily The SIDs on several hundred GB worth of files and dirs will almost all be from the old domain. The old domain controller will be shutdown, but there will be a SID history associated w/(almost) each domain user account and group that was in the old domain. This SID history will be saved on the domain controler in the new domain. So, if you run 'ls -l' in one of these directories whose files have SIDs from the old domain, I'm wondering if the SID history mechanism will work, showing the matching user or group in the new domain? I'll let you know what our tests show in the next few weeks. -- thanks Corinna Tom -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
