Dtrace log error:

Cause

Enterprise Vault Services in DCOM Config are using the old vault service account as the identity, causing the DCOM lookups to use the incorrect service account.  This is validated by seeing the Client server is running as VSA: [False] in the Dtrace log.  If the correct identity is used, the function would return a True value.

Resolution

Re-enter the Vault Service Account credentials under the Service Account tab, which can be found under the Directory Properties tab in the Administration Console, which will update the Identity user for all Enterprise Vault services.
