Access denied

Due to the change of operations service provider, our intranet didn't work no more.
All our computers are registered in a new domain and all users have new usernames.

Our intranet showed the error below saying "Access denied". I tried to change access rights
in web.config to the new domain groups and change access rights in Episerver admin to the new groups but nothing it didn't work.

The resolution was to delete all old history of previous access rights and add "[domain]\Domain Users" instead to inherit to all subpages.

The conclusion is that when access rights is corrupted it's best to start from scratch and add new user rights.
