Everytime we try to create a Criteria Based groups with more that 9 conditions the request fails. Is there is a limitation on the number of conditions that we can include during Critria-based Group creations? Thanks Issam Andoni Best Regards, Issam Andoni http://zevainc.com/andoni

I just created a criteria based group with more than 11 conditions without issue.David Lundell www.ilmBestPractices.com

I just created a criteria based group with more than 11 conditions without issue. David Lundell www.ilmBestPractices.com David. The issue was raise to us from one of our customers where we implemented a custom Group Management solution using FIM. We have three separate FIM environments and we were not able to create a Criteria based group with more than 9 conditions in any one of them. It may be related to other factors. Maybe there is limitation on the XPath length, timeout executing query, or other machine specific resources. Anyway thank for trying and I will try to investigate from my part. I just want to make sure the product team did not include a hard limit from their end Issam Best Regards, Issam Andoni http://zevainc.com/andoni

A couple questions on items which may shed light on the issue: What are the conditions you're attempting to specify for membership on this group? What happens when you try to submit the reuqest to create a group with these conditions? E.g., does the request get created, do you see "Access denied"... Cheers, --Jeff.

same problem, but I found some system ) Example 1: 1. Create new criteria-based rule 2. Add statement: Fax is tytyty 3. Add statement: Description is dfsfsf 4. Add sub-condition (any) City is 1 City is 2 ... City is 30 Save group. Everything work fine! Then I open this test group and add new Sub-Condition (Any): Department is q Department is w Save group and catch error! Example 2: Create new criteria-based group Add sub-condition (Any) City is 1 City is 2 ... City is 11 Add sub-condition (Any) Department is 1 Department is 2 ... Department is 10 Save group. And everything working! But when I add new rule to second sub-condition - Department is 11 - I catch error! Its not end ) I remove rule - City is 11 - from first sub-condition Then add - Department is 11 - to second sub-condition and save complete without errors But adding - Department is 12 - get me new error... Total sub-rules count is 21 in my case when I use 2 sub-condition rules... any solutions?

In my opinion the following things are to be considered: Do you have some SQL maintenance in place? Especially an index rebuild of the fim.ObjectValueText table its indexes is interesting If the above doesnt solve it, you might wanna (temporarily?) enlarge your timeouts. It's explained here: Darryl Russi's Blog > Extending FIM Timeouts and it's definately explained somewhere in the FIM technet documentation. I think in the troubleshooting section http://setspn.blogspot.com
