For file permissions one issue is that your OLD domain
account is not the same as your NEW account (even if the
names are the same of course.)

There is a (fairly tedious) tool available on Windows
for fixing such problems "SubInACL.exe"  (I read it as
(SUBstitute INstead a differenc ACL or permission".)

It's a pain to use but quite powerful important when 
a machine changes domains and the old users and groups
no longer have access.
