what does error 2226017 mean ?

Hello Community,

we keep getting error messages in the job chain "ADS_ADSGroup_Delete" which is as follows:

ErrorMessages [1777018] Error executing synchronization project (Active Directory Domain (DC=<domain>)'s workflow (Provisioning).
[1777124] Error executing projection step (group) of projection configuration (Provisioning (Provisioning)).
[1777219] Error executing synchronization step (group)!
[1777004] Method (Delete object (Delete)) could not be executed successfully.
[2226017] Error 2226017

So far our research has not led to the cause of this error. Maybe someone here from the forum can tell us what this message means and what we could do to fix it.

We are using version 8.1.5 of Identity Manager.

  • It seems to mean only that the delete failed, I have seen also with v8.1.5 when deleting a user account (where the account could be deleted using ADSI Edit using the same credentials as used by the sync engine).

  • Hi Andrew,

    you are absolutely right, this number shows the error of object deletion in ADS connector. Unfortunately it has no text defined in OneIM 8.1.5 so it simply prints the number. Nowadays here is used the error number 2226217 defined as "Error deleting object {0}.(Error: {1})" showing the Objects DN and the ADSI layer error message.

  • Hi all,

    any news/ideas for the cause of this error? We are using version 8.1.5 of Identity Manager and getting the same error:

  • Hi Thomas,

    you may check the AD object you try to delete if the option "Protect object from accidential deletion" has been set. This option has to be cleared by an update operation before you try to delete the object.

  • Hi Tino,

    we found the cause of the error message:

    A container object of type "ExchangeActiveSyncDevices" was assigned to the user in AD. The account could not be deleted
    with AD Users&Computers either. After removing this assignment the delete process could be executed.

    Thanks and regards,

    Thomas
