Hi,
I had a different experience. It is like a similar one.
I wrongly deleted the Cognos AD directory from AD and lost the cognos authentication. The content store stored all the authentication information and we need to match it.
I created the same AD namespace in AD Directory to retrieve the AD Groups, cognos user list and make sure the exact look-up detail in the cognos configuration. ( actually, I did not do anything in the cognos configuration file). You have to make sure the exact path to retrieve the users and group structure in your case.
On the Cognos side, each user validates the user information from my preference to match the CAMID.
Thanks,
Ram

Subject: Active Directory Migration - will all users lose owned objects?
Have a client that is currently using a 3rd party e-directory system and are moving to a normal Windows Active Directory. We understand how we will need to recreate the namespace and point Cognos to the new server, but the concern is if all the users have the same name in the new AD system, will Cognos recognize them as new entities or would they still have access to their existing objects: reports, My Reports folder, schedules, etc?
I understand we will need to map the new AD groups to the Cognos groups but those will also retain the same name and hierarchy.
