Help with Power Automate Desktop and modifying an Active Directory group (NOT AZURE)

(0) Share

Posted on by Luckey

I have been slamming my head on the keyboard.
I have a PAD flow that is properly set up, but I am unable to add users to an Active Directory group.

I have filled out all of the fields in the Modify Group step with the same information I am using for getting the members of a group (exact mirror).
Yet, I continue to get the error:
"Directory entry not found. Please check that the entry exists on the Active Directory server or that the given DN is correct"

There is next to no online examples using PAD to modify on-prem ADUC groups.
Anyone have any experience with this?

@Luckey I am seeing the same issue here and there is ZIP ZERO out there regarding this issue. The instructional content is inconsistent with the app action also. CN=nvarga is not a distinguished name string it would read CN=Norbert Varga as it shows in ADUC. Thanks for trying though @VJR

Lastly, the error doesn't specify what it cannot find in ADUC, can it not find the DN I input for the user or the DN for the container/Group I am trying to add them to?

I will keep combing the web for an answer.

It sounds like you can read the group but not modify it. I had something similar with users, same sort of unhelpful error message, turns out it was a permissions thing. One of my colleagues who has Domain Admin rights could run the flow with no problems
