Hi Guys, I had a problem with a customer where the functionality to contact directly the PDC for password resets didn't work properly. The PDC has never been contacted even while setting that registry key for all AD MA' which are in place. Therefore I had to raise a call with PSS. Before youre running in the same problem. CSS and I identified that the problem was an error in the documentation. The registry key is not UsePDCForPasswordOperations it is ADMAUsePDCForPasswordOperations. Regards, Moritz

where did u find that wrong key name? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2520954 The official doc has the right keyThe FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/

Hi Anthony, I assume that this has been updated now. Using google or bing and search for "UsePDCForPasswordOperations" it shows me that all the bloggers who published the update information used that key as well... like http://jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/a-hotfix-rollup-package-build-4-0-3594-2-is-available-for-forefront-identity-manager-2010/ Cheers, Moritz
