We copied a CRM Online production org to a sandbox yesterday and noticed that the value of the businessunitid (primary key GUID) for each business unit in the sandbox org are different than production. Also, the createdon field shows yesterday's date for all business units in the sandbox.
Strangely, though, the modifiedon date/time values are the same as the corresponding business units between the orgs.
It appears that the copy process drops and then inserts each business unit when copying instances.
We had to adjust some workflows after copying from prod to the sandbox, so that's how we discovered that the GUIDs are different.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
