How to: Update the Security Identifiers (SIDs) for Accounts That Were Used to Create Projects

To prevent project leaders in Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server from losing administrative access of the Web sites for their projects, you must update the security identifiers (SIDs) for their user accounts or security groups in certain circumstances. If domain accounts were not used when projects were created, you must update SIDs whenever you reinstall Team Foundation Server, move the application-tier server to another computer, or change your deployment from a workgroup to a domain. If domain accounts were used when projects were created, you must update SIDs whenever you change the domain of your deployment of Team Foundation Server. In these instances, the SIDs for users who created projects change, but the changes cannot be propagated to the restored data.

To update the data with the new SIDs, you must remove and re-add the user accounts to SharePoint Products and Technologies. You cannot automatically migrate SharePoint Products and Technologies users and groups and their role memberships across domains. SharePoint Products and Technologies will show the users and groups and their role memberships for each site. Based on the changes that were made to the deployment and the Active Directory trust relationship with the previous deployment, those users and groups might not be valid after you move or reinstall Team Foundation Server. For those users and groups that are not valid, you must create valid user and group memberships in the roles in the new deployment. For more information, see Managing Permissions and Trusts and Forests Considerations for Team Foundation Server.

Required Permissions

To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the Farm Administrators security group for SharePoint Products and Technologies.
