Title
SIDHistory is not being applied with error: "Error 0x80070560. The specified local group does not exist." -
Description
When doing directory synchronization, SIDHistory is not being applied and the following errors are seen in the DSA.LOG file:
08/16/21 10:34:03 (GMT-05:00) Activation AcAdSwitches SIDHistory Switch (native API), adding SIDHistory failed: 0x560.
08/16/21 10:34:03 (GMT-05:00) Common AcAdSwitches Error 0x80070560. The specified local group does not exist. -
Cause
QMM Project was configured using SIDHistory Agentless Adding, which requires specific AD preparation. -
Resolution
The first sign that Agentless Adding was configured is a presence of words "native API" in DSA log and unusually verbose Activation AcAdSwitches steps. Also, there are missing usual signs of agent-based activity. For example, having those keywords in the line: XML Password Install / Uninstall and names of DCs.
To resolve the issue, please make sure that DSA is pointing to the PDC emulator in Agent Manager, DSA properties, preferred DC/GC as well as follow the rest of instructions here:
