Cause

There is a conflict object in the "foreignsecurityprincipal" container, that looks like this:

SID for contoso\XUser: S-1-5-21-21330434097-182411894-1085159986-21628

 

Conflict object:

dn: CN=S-1-5-21-21330434097-182411894-1085159986-21628\0ACNF:1890a367-d7e5-4a6d-9479-cb98afe92812,CN=ForeignSecurityPrincipals,DC=contoso,DC=com

 

Without conflict:

dn: CN=S-1-5-21-21330434097-182411894-1085159986-21628,CN=ForeignSecurityPrincipals,DC=contoso,DC=com

 

When you look at the “whenchanged” and foremost “whencreated” attributes of the objects, you should see they are very close together. This is the sign of a Active Directory “name conflict”. That is resolved by renaming one of the objects.

Resolution

The objects have the same “objectsid” attribute which is the problem. They should have the same attribute values for most operationally relevant attributes. So you can delete the object with the name conflict from an Active Directory Administration tool.

See the section “Replication Conflict Resolution

You can avoid the problem in the future when you have the CRM Administrator use a specific Domain Controller.

You can add a registry entry for that:

Location: HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\MSCRM

Key Type: String

Name: PreferredDC

Value: (type the name of the DC)
