SYMPTOMS
Under some specific conditions and configurations of a management agent, mass obsoletions can occur. For example, the Active Directory Management Agents (ADMA) logs may contain an entry that is similar to the following entry:
CAUSE
This problem may occur if the database is damaged. This may trigger the obsoletion of a large number of users. This problem may result in a very specific scenario that involves provisioned users. For example, one or more provisioned users are disconnected from their metaverse entries. The management agent then discovers that a rename of the user has occurred in the Connected Directory. This might occur when a user is moved to another container in the Connected Directory, and this is a change of the distinguished name of the user. This may cause one or more records to become damaged, and this may cause more damage to the database over time.
