Owner and Display Owner through WorkFlow
I am trying to create a workflow that populates the owner and display owner on group creation. I created my workflow: DisplayName: GroupOwner Destination: //Target/Owner Value: Creator DisplayName: GroupOwner Destination: //Target/DisplayOwner Value: Creator When I export the group it does not create or update the Owner or DisplayOwner with the Creator attribute. I have even tried to set the value with a string as fim_service and string as the GUID. However, nothing seems to work. When I search the requests it shows that the MPR with the workflow has been applied. Any ideas? Thanks, Nate

Ok, the workflow does work only when the attributes are already present. I want to create the display owner and owner if they are not present. Any ideas? Thanks, Nate

Thanks, Nate Best option is to have a default value that you can use for these groups that do not have any account in their ManagedBy attribute. You need to use the account GUID during your map IssamBest Regards, Issam Andoni http://zevainc.com/andoni

I am using the managedby attributed if it exists. However, it seems if I do not have the managedby attribute set in AD that the workflow will not create the owner or display owner attribute during creation of the group. The group creation fails because it does not have the owner and display owner attribute. The workflow does work if I have managedby attribute in AD before I do the export, therefore it does an overwrite of the attributes. I thought I could do a workflow to create and populate the owner and display owner attribute. Thanks, Nate
