Join Not Working on First Run of Management Agent (269202)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Metadirectory Services 2.1
  • Microsoft Metadirectory Services 2.2
This article was previously published under Q269202

SYMPTOMS

When you run a new Management Agent in Association mode, you can set the criteria for joining the Management Agent connectors to metaverse entities by using connector space values, such as the following:
$mv.cn = $cs.cn
After you run the Management Agent, the join of the connectors to the metaverse entries fails. In addition, most, if not all, of the connector space entries are still shown as disconnectors.

CAUSE

Connector space values such as the $cs.cn attribute are not constructed when the Management Agent is run for the first time.

RESOLUTION

You can resolve this behavior by not using the connector space attributes as join criteria. Instead, use the connected directory attributes, such as $cd.cn.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft recommends the use of the connector space attributes as metaverse join criteria.
