Impact of AD Migration on Windows authenticated SQL user account

We have SQL applications in which some of the SQL user
accounts are integrated with Windows authentication.
We would like to find out whether any of you have
migrated any SQL based applications of which the SQL user
accounts were configured to make use of Windows
authentication instead of SQL authentication. Will the
Windows accounts in SQL be automatically translated to
the new AD account (with all necessary SQL
rights/permissions) or do we have to manually recreate &
reconfigure all Windows accounts in SQL and its
rights/permissions?
Appreciate some feedback. Thanks.
.Hi
If you are using the AD migration tool then you should keep the same SIDs
and therefore there should not be a problem.
If you do change SIDS then the amount of rework would be reduced if you used
NT groups when granting premissions rather than individual users.

Besides, I realized that from the Security, Logins folder
that once the logins are defined as <NT4
domain>\<username>, we cant changed it, even before the
migration of the SQL server computer account.
Any more feedback?

This sounds like you are changing the domain as well during the migration.
In which case look at:

I believe in the documentation that SIDs are retained by ADMT, if it did not
all sorts of other privilege related problems would occur.
