DCA in test environment causing problems in live
|

| Hi all
We've got a funny situation happening in our test environment. We are
currently performing an upgrade of a CMS 2001 installation to CMS 2002. In
the test environment (which will be a replication of what we are doing in
production), we have done a fresh install of CMS 2002 on a Windows 2000
machine. On a separate SQL Server, we have done a restore of the CMS 2001
database from production.
We then went to run the DCA to connect to the CMS 2001 db and upgrade it. We
created a service user in the test environment that would run CMS (e.g.
TEST/CMSUser) - which is a replication of the user in the live environment
that will run CMS (e.g. LIVE/CMSUser). The passwords of these accounts are
different in the different environments.
When we ran the DCA, it attempted to authenticate against the LIVE user -
causing that account to be locked out. To make sure that no one entered the
LIVE user by mistake, a new test user was created and we ran the DCA again.
The domain controller logs showed 16 different attempts to authenticate that
TEST username against LIVE.
Is there any link in the database to the LIVE domain that we restored back
that could cause this? Does the DCA do any processing against Active
Directory at all?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

| Hi Shivonne,
I would suggest to open a support case for this.
This is not a known issue.
Cheers,
Stefan
