Report to find if a specific username is being used in multiple locations on Commvault

 

We recently changed the password of a username that was being used to backup different environments.

Is there a report in Commvault that I can use to search for a username such as domain\username so as to find out if it is being used to backup say 10 different environments.

I can potentially do you one better!

We have a handy feature to update all passwords for a given username across the entire CommCell:

Let me know if that helps you update the accounts quickly and consistently!

Gary, to see where an account is being used throughout the CommCell you can use the user account manager with the Preview option which should list all areas where a given account is found.  This is documented here: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/8050_user_account_management.html

 

To change passwords for accounts configured in the Credentials Manager you can use the tool previously mentioned by Mike.

 

Have a great day.
