Moving users from local to LDAP using iwidmap?

TeamSite 6.1 SP1
Windows 2003

AD Server - Windows 2003

I have local Windows account on my teamsite server and want to migrate all the users off to the AD server. I have successfully gotten things setup with the authentication working correctly. I now need to have all of the objects in the backing store updated to reflect the new domain name.

Old entries look similar to TEAMSITE61\Tony. I want them to now look like TEAMSITE\Tony. I thought iwidmap was the way to do it, but it didn't work. I tried the following:

iwidmap -u -c TEAMSITE61\Tony TEAMSITE\Tony c:\iw-store\default

That didn't change anything. After reading some posts, I went exported the ids to a file, commented out the old entry, and changed the token id of the new to that of the old (the new token id was 162):

<!--<RECORD>
<TOKEN data = "161"/>
<ID data ="S-1-5-21-798015797-400417830-334888720-1016"/>
<NAME data="teamsite61\Tony"/>
</RECORD>-->
<RECORD>
<TOKEN data = "161"/>
<ID data ="S-1-5-21-1048481217-521032908-1286909036-1109"/>
<NAME data="TEAMSITE\Tony"/>
</RECORD>

I have not changed any of the groups yet, but have setup authentication and roles to be managed in the AD.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Though I have not worked in this area, I played around with this trying to setup disaster recovery in our project.

I have not worked with AD before so I assume that the new SID (for TEAMSITE) is the one created by Active Directory.

What you can try doing is export the user to a file while changing the domains too, and then import back it into TeamSite with the changed SID.

Did you deactivate/activate the content store or restarted the TeamSite server after the change? If not, try doing these too.
