Hello, Environment: FIM 2010 (4.0.3576.2) AD MA (export) terminates after just two seconds. There are no errors in the GUI except the "AD MA stopped-server". We can see 3 events in the application log (no errors in system and security logs) 6301 "ERR: MMS(2148): utils.cpp(907): Failed getting registry value 'ADMADoNormalization', 0x2 BAIL: MMS(2148): utils.cpp(908): 0x80070002 (The system cannot find the file specified.): Win32 API failure: 2 BAIL: MMS(2148): utils.cpp(963): 0x80070002 (The system cannot find the file specified.)

Can anyone give me a hint, what FIM is doing within this small period of time? Are there any debug options? How can I check that the connectivity to AD is ok. (Refresh schema ran without problems) Any help is appreciated. TIA Thessa
