Hi Folks,

I'm trying to update the job title using "title" in active directory using "Bulk password control" but i keep getting the error "Detail: A constraint violation occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007202F)"

Can anyone throw any light on why this error is occuring? everything else updates fine.

Bob

I think the new value might be too long for the title attribute. I can see that you are replacing "Computer Services Technician" with a shorter string "it technician", but there could be some whitespace characters at the end of the string. I attempted the same update myself and it worked fine. I then added a number of whitespace characters to the end of the string and I was able to produce the same error.

Hope this helps,

David

Posts 2 		I am getting the same error message when trying to change the 'Description' attribute.
All other attributes change ok. I have tried different string, but all fail. This is a Windows 2000 domain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Adam

Hi,

I don't have any problems updating the description attribute. What method are you using to update it - CSV Update, Edit In Excel or Bulk Modify? Also, can you post a sample value that is failing?

Thanks,

David

Posts 2 		I have tried using 'Edit In Excel' and Bulk Modify, they both fail with the error:

(Error): description - Failure: A constraint violation occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007202F)

I have tried using just a one letter string, just in case the string was too long, but this also failed, so its not the length of the string.

Thanks, Adam

Posts 331 		Are you able to edit the attribute in Active Directory Users and Computers? Also have you tried updating a user account using a script like the one below:


set objUser = GETOBJECT("LDAP://CN=MyUser,OU=MyOU,DC=wisesoft,DC=co,DC=uk")

objUser.Put "Description","Test"
objUser.SetInfo

wscript.echo "OK"


Please change the bold text to point to a user in your domain. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks,

David

Posts 4 		This may not be the issue, but in my own .NET development talking to AD, I found that the description attribute is multi-valued, but has a constraint saying it must only contain one value. So if you're going by what the schema says and treat it as a multi-valued attribute, things might not work depending on the environment. I had to make an exception just for the description field. I'm not sure how Bulk Modify implements it.

See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms675492(v=VS.85).aspx

Specifically this: "This value is restricted as single-valued for backward compatibility in some cases but is allowed to be multi-valued in others."
