We have AC_NewName in the Update profile as “CN=$sAMAccountName” because a user’s sAMAccountName may change based on their type and we want those changes to be reflected in Active Directory. The changes are going through as expected but we are seeing a Modify request being sent each day from attrib…

Hey Edward, It is to my understanding that the usageType of “UPDATE” and all others that are not “CREATE” are not currently supported for Active Directory (you can reference my topic about Provisioning Policies (link) ).

We are seeing that IDN is not able to move accounts to the disabledUsers OU for some users when they are terminated. The majority of the cases are due to a DN conflict with another account already in the disabledUsers OU. More specifically a conflict with the CN portion of the DN. Some of those cas…
