Requirement:
During a acquisition, Our company decided to merge with an acquired company's AD by re-creating their user Ids in our AD. Also, the acquired company had a bunch SharePoint sites and we wanted to migrate them to our SharePoint environment.
That brought an another challenge of re-mapping user Ids with permission between domains. How do we migrate SharePoint users from one domain to another domain?
Solution:
Well, In SharePoint 2007 days, I used STSADM to migrate users between domains:
Stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin domain\OldUserID -newlogin domain\NewUserID -ignoresidhistory
Now with SharePoint 2013, Its replaced with the PowerShell cmdlet: Move-SPUser. So, rather moving users one by one, we prepared a CSV file, mapping users from one domain to new domain and used PowerShell script to migrate users in bulk.
Here is my CSV file structure:
The csv file just maps old SAMAccountName with the new one.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShellThis PowerShell script migrates users to new domain programmatically. You have to use the same method when users leaves the company and rejoin - if their AD accounts are deleted and re-created.
