Hi All I am following the ILM 2 online walkthoughs. I created an Identity Lifecycle Manager MA, then ran 1. Full Import 2. Full Sync 3. Export Now MVObjectID for the "Built-in Synchronization Account" and "Administrator" is populated. I then deleted all the Management Agents including the Identity Lifecycle Manager MA. Then started following the same steps. 1. Created an Identity Lifecycle Manager MA 2. Full Import 3. Full Sync 4. Export - at this stage I get an error "failed-modification-via-web-services" I guess, this error is due to ILM trying to update the MVObjectID in ILMSDB. For ILMMA there is default direct flow mapping for MVOjbectID <- <object-id> And ILM will assign new object-id to MV Object each time it is projected. Is my understanding correct re the cause of the error? How do you fix this? TIA Sachin
