Error : Username is ‘abcadm’, but was ‘defadm’ before GUI connect

Sometimes you may get the error like username is abcadm but defadm before GUI connect. This issue generally we get when using SUM DMO with system move option.

As a pre-requisite of DMO with system move. You have to re-install your target PAS host with the same SID as of source system and start the SUM again.
