Situation
Multiple users have the same cn with different contexts
Some users have samAccountName with randon values instead of the cn
Resolution
eDirectory allows objects with the same cn as long as the objects are have different contexts.
Since the samAccountName is populated with the cn as long as the cn is no more than 20 characters (see TID 7010993).
With multiple users with the same cn only one of the users will populate the samAccountName with the cn . All other users will have random values for the samAccountName.
Additional Information
A future patch will list users with the same cn in the dsfw-change.log
