Error: command failed: The Active Directory object "DOM\user" is present in the local configuration databases with a different security identifier. Before retrying this command, if the object has been renamed in Active Directory, run the
       "vserver cifs users-and-groups update-names" command under advanced privilege. If the object was deleted, reset any privileges associated with it and remove the object from all local groups.
