Empty contacts are being created when running the provision groups wizard (4246444)

Contacts exist in exchange but do not get added to groups and new empty contacts are created. The wizard is also taking a very long time to complete

This is due to a filter in the global default settings.

STATUS:

This was corrected in build 4.1.5.30. Please contact Quest Support to get this build.

RESOLUTION 1

Comment out userfilter. Go into the Migration Manager | File | Edit Global Default Settings| Under the [ActiveDirectory] section put a # in front of UserFilter=(objectClass=user)

RESOLUTION 2

The AD Groups Provisioning Wizard now supports a new program parameter that tells the wizard which AD group objects to consider when merging AD objects with Notes objects (by matching AD attribute values with Notes attribute values in corresponding objects). This new GroupsSearchFilter=<expression> parameter, in the [ActiveDirectory] section of Global Defaults and/or Task Parameters, defines a subexpression of a customized AD search query. This feature is useful in cases where two or more objects may carry the same value for the AD attribute designated in the app run, but the objects can be differentiated by some other attribute. The <expression> value must be formatted as an AD query subexpression, including opening and closing parentheses, as in:

[ActiveDirectory]
GroupsSearchFilter=(objectClass=group)

The above example tells the program to consider only an object whose objectClass parameter value is "group." Conversely, the set to be considered may be defined by exclusion, as in:

GroupsSearchFilter=(!(objectClass=user))

The above would tell the Wizard to disregard any object whose objectClass parameter value is "user," but to consider all others.
