Update/Replace Hyperion MSAD with new MSAD

 I had an organizational need for updating my current active directory and replace it with a new active directory.
We have a rather simple structure in our provisioning data, mostly controlled by native groups and AD users being part of those groups.

These are the steps I followed to make that happen:

1. Export a good working copy of current Foundation project from LCM. To do this, navigate to Application groups->Foundation->Shared Services->Native Directory. Highlight everything and export it to the server.
2. Open Groups.csv and scroll to #groups_children tree section.
A typical section will look something like this.

#group_children
id,group_id,group_provider,user_id,user_provider
Sample Group,,,Username,DomainNameX

Do a find and replace for DomainNameX with DomainNameY
and save the file. Repeat for all the files inside the Export.

3.  Login to Shared Services and navigate to Administration->Configure User Directories and add the information for the New MSAD

4. Verify that the old MSAD is moved to search order 3 and is "Excluded" . Save the Settings.

5. Perform a full restart of all the products.

6. Login as admin to Shared Services and Import the file updated in Step 2.

7. You should now find updated provisioning information on Shared Services.

Spl Note for Planning Apps:

You will need to "Refresh Database->Security" for each planning application. Otherwise you are likely to encounter 'unable to sync provisioning error' when you login to planning.

Hope this helps.
