SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) 2.1 (build 261), the disconnection flow script for a management agent (MA) generates different results when you evaluate it in Account Joiner than when it is evaluated by the Importt program. Specifically, when you disconnect a connector space object from a metaverse object, the metaverse object may be left as a disconnector. The metaverse object will be a disconnector if it has its only connector removed. If you then test the zcConnectedDirectoryID attribute to verify that this is the case, the test is not successful because Account Joiner is not using an updated view of the attribute. The metaverse object appears as if it is still joined to one connector space object.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the processing logic in Account Joiner differs from the corresponding logic in Importt.
