1. New domain means every pc needs to join the new domain.
2. Unmap all drives from the old domain.
Based on my recollection, there's some authentication going on that's cached once a drive is mapped. Using the old authentication in the new domain may produce errors. Remap once the computers are in the new domain.

Maybe someone else knows how to make it seamless?

The short answer is: No.

The long answer is: If you need help switching domains, I suggest you find someone with some experience to do the job for you because your questions make it look like you don't have a clue.

I'm available for $125/hr.
