    Hi,

     

    Easy enough...

    1. Create the new BE Service Account in the new domain with the same rights as the current BESA;

    2. Move to the new domain;

    3. Use BEutility.exe to change the BE Service account details to the new account from #1.

    If you have remote servers in the first domain, then make sure there is a trust between the domains, and that the new BESA is in that remote domain's Domain Admins group, otherwise backups will fail.

    Thanks!
