I need to provision some objects to an external system (Oracle accounts using an extensible MA, but this is a detail). I would like to set an initial password for these accounts, and once the resource is created, send the initial password with an email to the owner. How do you usually deal with this scenario? do you store the password in some attribute? If I generate a random value in the outbound rule, then I have no way to retrieve it. Any suggestions welcome.

I pretty much do what Markus' link describes with the exception of using a custom activity to generate the password. The activity drops the result in a WorkflowData variable which I can do whatever with (e.g. send mail).My Book - Active Directory, 4th Edition My Blog - www.briandesmond.com
