Active Directory

Use the Active Directory plugin steps for automating Microsoft Windows Active Directory tasks.

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.

   

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.
