I have FIM 2010 RTM setup. All FIM roles with SQL DB installed on single m/c. MA are configured for AD & FIM. Everything was workign fine. First I have imported users from AD to FIM portal, then I have started with groups. Then I have configured outbound sync rule for groups to update only members in AD. Since last few days I am facing following errors while doing FIM MA export/Import. FIM MA Import exported-change-not-reimported FIM MA Export Error 1) dn-attributes-failure Fault Reason: The endpoint could not dispatch the request.

When I searched in metaverse I found that the objects for which the error is reported having two entries in Metaverse. I am not able to find out why it is giving errors for account name & objectSid. I have removed ad group outbound sync rule & FIM MA is configured for basic user & group Export attribute flow with two sync rule. but still no luck.. Any help on this is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.. Anand k

Looks like the errors for ObjectSID and Name are also based on that fact that the ID's are not unique. Unfortunately I am not able to give you directions on what to change as I dont know your settings. You could use the PowerShell scripts in the FIM Knowledge box to document your attribute flows in the sync rules and post them to the forum.
