    Unable to access sharepoint after domain change

    Hi,



    We have a w2k3 member server with SharePoint 3 that was on a SBS 2003
    network. Due to a failed server we had to move it to a new domain under a new
    SBS 2008 server. Now when we try to access the old sharepoint we get a login
    prompt. Whatever login we try (old domain accounts and new) it denies us
    access to the Intranet to retrieve our saved docs.

    Is there a way to change the permissions on IIS to allow us to access the
    SharePoint?

    Thanks in advance,

    Lyj

    This is likely not an issue with IIS permissions, but is an issue with your
    SharePoint credentials themselves. SharePoint uses its own method for
    access control and maps AD accounts to its own groups for this purpose.
    Since you moved the server, it is likely that the sharepoint site groups now
    have no members within them thus the behavior you are seeing is normal.

    You can run the SharePoint Central Administration snap-in on the server to
    assign a new administrator, and from there the administrator can add new AD
    users and groups to the site groups to regain user access.
