Hi I have an authorization workflow for group deletions where I notify the owner and members that the group is deleted. When there are members all goes fine, but when there aren’t, it gives an error. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Hartwal,I tried this scenario and it completed successfully w/o any errors. Can you share what error you are seeing?Thanks,Sri

Hartwal,exactly which build are you on? That could make a difference.David Lundell www.ilmBestPractices.com

Thanks for the replies. I have installed Update 2 There are two notifications in my workflow. The first one goes to [//Requestor] and the second one to [//Target/ComputedMember] (I tried also [//Target/ExplicitMember]) This is what I do: Create a security group as an Administrator (Display Name: Security Group X, Account Name: SecurityGroupX, Remove the default member Administrator) Delete the groups as an Administrator (The group stays, but the Administrator gets an email) When I check the page “Search requests”, it says that this request is denied (Request Workflow Remarks says: The workflow instance ‘GUID’ encountered an internal error during processing. Contact your system administrator for more information) In addition there are two errors in the FIM Log: 1) EmailNotificationDataExchange caught an exception while trying to send an email. The email was not sent. See the trace immediately following for exception contents. 2) Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service: System.ArgumentException: Invalid or NULL email address at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Mail.Utilities.ValidateMailMessage(GenericMessage message, IMailServer mailServer) at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Mail.NotificationMessage.Send() at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Workflow.Hosting.SendMailWorkItemProcessor.SendMailMessage(MessageContent messageContent) at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Workflow.Hosting.SendMailWorkItemProcessor.ProcessWorkItem(WorkItem workItem) It seem that this is because of "Invalid or NULL email address" but how could it be because there is no members And everything works fine when there are members or if I delete the second notification from my workflow.

Hi Hartwal! Unfortunately this exception occurs when there's no recipients. This will probably cause a lot of implementers headache in the future unless fixed with at least a better description. Until this have been resolved (if it's considered for resolving of course) you'll have to live with it... //HenrikHenrik Nilsson Blog: http://www.idmcrisis.com Company: Cortego (http://www.cortego.se)

Ok. Thanks Henrik.
