Good evening,

 

I am currently in the process of automating a lot of smaller tasks and prove to our company that automating is a good step forward, but anyway here is my question.

 

I am trying to build a flow that connects to our Active Directory server, which works without a problem, BUT now i want to move a test user into a new OU and this is were the problem starts. I can move any Computer, but not a user account, which would be my goal. Sorry for it being in german, but the translation would be to move object.

Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.SDK.ActionException: Directory not found. 
bei Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.ActiveDirectory.Actions.ActiveDirectoryBase.HandleException(Exception ex)
bei Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.ActiveDirectory.Actions.MoveObjectAction.Execute(ActionContext context)
bei Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.Engine.Execution.ActionRunner.Run(IActionStatement statement, Dictionary`2 inputArguments, Dictionary`2 outputArguments)

    Hey @Scorpionius 

     

    We are looking at doing what you are as well and getting exactly the same problem.

     

    Did you ever find a way around it? 

     

    Kind regards

    Tom

    Try using microsoft graph APIs to achieve that instead of the activity as this activity cannot achieve all scenarios like the one which you are trying.
