Workaround

You can change the trustee Information in the access control entry (ACE), which is included in the security descriptor on the resource. The current trustee information contains the SID of the trustee from the migrated domain. Use the access control list editor to remove the trustee from the security descriptor, save the information, and then add the same trustee back to the resource by using the migrated account in the current domain. This will change the SID in the trustee information to the SID of the current domain.
