SYMPTOMS
When you use the Together Administration Management Agent (TAMA) tool, new records are added to the Export.ta file as modifications rather than as new records. This creates a problem with connected directories such as Microsoft Exchange, because a new user is not created if the record is submitted as a modification.



CAUSE
This problem can occur when the import process uses the Modification Parsing template instead of the Add template. If you view the Export.ta file in the working directory of the Management Agent (MA), new records are preceded with an M rather than an A. This behavior occurs when TAMA runs, and creates new users below the MA.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, in the MA working directory, open the Export.ta file in a text editor and change the M at the beginning of each record to an A.

The Export.ta file appears as:

M cn=Jane Doe

Telephone: 222-2222

e-mail: someone@microsoft.com

The Export.ta file after modification:

A cn=Jane Doe

Telephone: 222-2222

e-mail: someone@microsoft.com



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
