Moving Google Cloud Directory Sync

[mowgli82]

Im in process of migrating services to a new DC, I've just installed Google Cloud Directory Sync and imported the config file from my other DC. I've run a simulate sync and have a load o f messages about "change stored non address primary key"

 

is this normal?

 

Thanks

I've logged a ticket with Google so will update with the results: it looks like it should be ok though:

Hi,

 

This is normal. GCDS creates a unique ID for each user account so that it can correctly handle username changes. This ID is stored locally on the server so if you move the server it will regenerate it. The only problem that should occur is if you rename any user accounts before the last sync on the old server and first sync on the new one. If that happens new accounts will be created.

Yes, that's fine. I asked Google the same question after upgrading the sync tool and getting lots of those!

Stone Equinox only supports Microsoft server 2016 data centre, so for us, that's a non-starter we like VMware
