It depends of the name of management class in the new domain.

For backup copy groups, if TSM find a mgmt class with the same name in the new 
domain (and with a backup copy group within...), it will rebind objects to the 
new  policies
If not, it will rebind object to the default mgmt class

I think it's the same for archive copy groups but check that to be sure...
