SUMMARY
In Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) 2.1, you can use a Together Administration Management Agent (TAMA) to add resources to directory objects with dynamic rather than static processes.

In a static configuration, when the TAMA resource is attached to a particular object in the metaverse, it applies to all subordinate objects.

As an alternative, the dynamic configuration does not attach the resource to any point in the tree. Instead, you configure the rules on the Rules form. To use this form, click Operate the Together Administration MA, click Configuration Settings, and then click the Rules form. These rules allow multiple conditions to be evaluated against each metaverse entry, resulting in the possibility of coincident multiple resource assignments. This is the add or hire scenario. The opposite is the remove or fire scenario.

You cannot implement the remove or fire scenario with these resource assignments by using the -= scripting language operator in the Rules template.

The target attribute, zcTaAccountResourceDNs, is multi-valued, therefore the -= operator is normally required. However, if the operator is used, the user typically receives the following results:
 * An error (14014) if the zcTaAccountResourceDNs attribute contains no values.
 * The object is not deleted in the connected directory.



MORE INFORMATION
MMS version 2.1 does not support fire abilities in the hire-fire scenario.
