Hello,

I created a flow to create a user in AD when a record is created in Dataverse.

Step 1:

Name: VariableXYZ

Created a variable for the password generation

Value : rand(10000000, 99999999)

Step 2: Create a user in AD

Password: Use a variable from step 1(VariableXYZ)

Step 3: Send password to the user via email(Send an email (V2))

To: test@gmail.com

Subject : XYZ

Body: New password is created : (VariableXYZ)

When I run my flow then I am getting an error: "The specified password does not comply with password complexity requirements. Please provide a different password."

I tried with password: substring(utcNow(),20,8) too but getting the same error.

Does anybody know what is the issue?

Regards,

Parag Chapre

Your Accounts Admin team must have set Password Policy. Please check your password policy. Typically, it involves one Capital letter, one Special Character, characters and numbers. If you can generate a password with that, it will work.

You will have to play with expressions.

Example: substring(guid(),0,8) will return you a string. Then Append it with random number and then use toUpper() on portion of it and append special character like # or @.

What is the password policy?
You then need to generate based on that policy.
Check this out, should help you build a random password that matches your password policy.
