SYMPTOMS
When you try to join the Active Directory Management Agent connector space object to metaverse objects by using the Join tool, the following error message is generated in the Operator's log file:

No unique proposal for

When you run the Join tool with a higher logging level, it resolves attributes as empty even though they have values in Hologram view. The join is successful, however, if you run the management agent and project the objects into the metaverse. For example, the join succeeds if you select the Attempt to join check box in the management agent configuration settings when you bring the objects into the connector space.

-or-

Account Joiner enables the administrator to choose four actions: Create, Join, Hold, and Exclude. When the Create button is clicked, Account Joiner should take the connector space object you have selected and create a metaverse entry for that object. However, when doing this, the object creation fails and the log reports:

FAILED TO CONSTRUCT[19049] error



CAUSE
This behavior occurs only when you run the server-based join on preexisting, disconnected objects. The problem is caused by the management agent's inability to extract the required attribute values from its parsing template. Typically, the parsing template is used as the attribute value source during the join operation. However, in the Active Directory management agent, the parsing template is unavailable and the values must be retrieved elsewhere.
