Automate data masking, disable integrations, and safely prepare non-production environments after a database refresh.
Refreshing a development or test environment in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations requires taking a copy of the production database. While this allows teams to test against real data, it also introduces risk. Sensitive information may be exposed, integrations may trigger unexpectedly, and manual scripts often break as environments evolve.
Clone Commander automates the process of preparing non-production environments after a database refresh. It anonymizes sensitive data, disables risky integrations, and resets configuration settings so teams can test safely without exposing production information.

Copying production data into development or test environments creates several challenges for Dynamics teams.
Production databases often contain customer records, financial transactions, employee information, and other sensitive data. If this information is not properly anonymized, it may become accessible to developers, consultants, or external partners.
At the same time, production configurations can carry over during the refresh process. Email notifications, payment integrations, and workflow triggers may remain active and accidentally interact with real systems.
Many organizations attempt to manage these risks with manual scripts and checklists. Over time, these solutions become difficult to maintain and can fail when environments change.
Sensitive production data such as names, emails, and financial information can be masked automatically while preserving relationships needed for realistic testing.
The platform integrates with Microsoft Lifecycle Services so automation can run automatically after database refresh operations.
All anonymization and configuration actions are logged, helping organizations meet data governance and regulatory requirements.
Clone Commander updates system configuration after every refresh, ensuring integrations, workflows, and system settings behave safely in non-production environments.
Clone Commander automates the preparation of Dynamics 365 environments after a database refresh.
After production data is copied into a non-production environment, Clone Commander runs predefined automation recipes that prepare the system for safe development and testing.
This process can automatically:
By replacing manual scripts with a repeatable automation process, organizations reduce risk and ensure environments are consistently prepared.
Organizations often copy production databases into development or test environments to replicate real system conditions.
However, this process can expose sensitive data and allow production integrations to run during testing.
Safely cloning a Dynamics 365 environment requires three steps:
Clone Commander automates these steps, turning a fragile manual process into a predictable workflow.
