Active Directory

The Active Directory plugin lets you manage users, groups, computers, and organizational units in your on-premise Microsoft Windows Active Directory. It supports tasks like creating and deleting accounts, resetting passwords, managing group memberships, and reading or updating properties. Use this plugin when your workflows need to automate user provisioning, offboarding, access management, or directory maintenance. This plugin works only with on-premise Active Directory, not Azure Active Directory.

Important:

The Active Directory plugin works only with the on-premise version of Active Directory and not with Azure Active Directory.

Prerequisites​

  1. Privileges to access Active Directory server.

  2. PowerShell version 5 and above.

  3. Complete PowerShell setup with Active Directory modules to run the Active Directory steps.

    Note:

    For updating the PowerShell version and Active Directory module installation, see Appendix: PowerShell Setup Active Directory.

    User logon and principal name.

    AD-1

Known issues​

The following issues are for all AD plugins:

  • If an invalid environment variable is provided as input to the plugin, then plugin validates it and throws error as Failed to get <respective field name>. But when the same workflow is executed through AutomationEdge, error thrown is not identical to the error thrown by Process Studio.

  • When more than one consecutive space character is provided between two non-space characters and submitted as input to the plugin, then plugin receives input as two non-space characters with only one space character between them, instead of original multiple consecutive spaces.
