account remnants during upgrade to SL 2015

Hello all,

We are testing an upgrade from SL 2011 SP1 (no feature packs installed) to SL 2015. Before I backed up the SYS and APP databases, I used SQL Server Management Studio to remove a few domain user accounts which no longer existed in the enterprise. The upgrade process continues to fail and the logs indicate that the scripts are still trying to provision these ghost accounts within the upgraded databases.

Does anyone have any clues for finding all instances of these user accounts?

That was exactly what I needed to do! On to other issues with the upgrade process, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I'm guessing you removed those domain accts only within SQL Mgmt Studio, but never actually removed the related SL UserID from within SL User Maintenance. The upgrade will check existing SL Users to identify if a valid domain acct exists; if not, the messages are written to the logs.
