A Hidden Share has been lost after a Domain Controller chang

Chirpa,
Thank you. I finally received my new domail controller the other weekend and I have been busy with a number of tasks.
However the new domain controler is using the same domain name as its predessor, so currently I can access the shares and read the files, but cannot write to them.
My current plan is to copy the data to another NAS device and then because the domain name is the same, disconnect the NAS from the former domain, and then try and reconnect to the new domain.
Because the domain names are the dame, I do not know what will happen to the file structure, hence the copying of the data to a new NAS first.
I might ne luck and have the reconnection keep the old structure & files or I might be unluck and have the old structure overwritten by the new structure because of the same name.
It will take me a while because of the amount of data, but better to be safe than sorry I guess.
