Hi,

Tonight I'm going to migrate users from domainA to domainB. Many of these
have notebooks with files 'Made available offline'.

How will the new domain name affect the syncronization of files (it's mostly
their home folder which is synced).

Any pitfalls here?

Thanks for comments

Hello Rod,

For profile translations if a user is using offline files on a client
running Windows XP SP1, the user loses access to the files in the offline
folder. Although the SID of the user changes, the owner in the access
control lists of the files and folders does not change. On Windows XP SP1
clients, users will not have access to content in offline folders unless
they are owners of the files and folders. Therefore, to give the user
access to the offline file folder, you must run the Security Translation
Wizard on the profile folder.

For more information, please refer to the following articles:

Hope it helps.
