    Hello, Have you found anything on this? I have a requirement to modify user details in AD and am trying to use power automate desktop with no success yet. Get user info action keeps failing with "Directory entry not found".

    Hi mmp2021,

     

    This

    Exercise - Create new Active Directory user - Learn | Microsoft Docs

    seem to be the most useful reference till today.

    Anyhow I quit using the built-in connectors to AD because they all rely on DN which is not practical in most cases. I switched to using PowerShell and passing parameters is much easier. You have to capture the scripterror though to make sure it went well. After you have applied it in a step you can handle the error in an if conditional case.
