I found the answer to my own question; here it is in case someone else needs
to know how to do it:
The SQL Server database behind the SharePoint site has two tables which
reference the machine name in front of the username. I had to change the
machine name in the following tables:
Table name: Dbo.UserInfo
Columns: tp_login and tp_title.
Action: Updated each occurrence of the OldMachineName with the
NewMachineName.
Table name: dbo.AllUserData
Columns: nvarchar1, nvarchar2, nvarchar3
Action: same action as above.
Once this is complete, the users on the new machine can successfully log in
to SharePoint with all their other permissions intact.
So happy this worked!
