ConfigSettings - Do I have to modify it?

[stevechin1986]

Hello.

I just successfully performed the MIcrosoft CRM 2015 Performance Toolkit installation, steps 1-8. In regards to the configuration setting, I have a few questions:

Am I supposed to modify this file ever? I ask this because:

• The Organization is simply "orgname". I had specified the correct name when running ToolkitSetup.ps1
• The example creation script was for 200 users to be created.
• The baseline test that comes with the kit is from 320 users.
• The configsettings file lists 320.
• The crmuser has this odd looking password. I'm confused as to whether that was the developer's test environment password, or if it is a mask for something else?

Thanks!

The settings in ConfigSettings.xml need to match the environment under test. If they are not, you can modify the ConfigSettings.xml file manually . I am not sure why the orgname you provided was not honored. Basically what the setup script does is to take users' inputs from command line and overwrite this template file - \Toolkit\Setup\ConfigSettingsTemplate_Onprem.xml (I assume your deployment is on-prem).

Regarding the number of users, as you can see from the template file above, it was set to 320 by default, which can be changed based on your test needs.

Sorry about the confusion regarding the password. You can specify your own password in ConfigSettings.xml. Yes, the password was used on testing environment. I'll remove it shortly.
