KB-6606: No prefix option needed in copynested group

Centrify DirectControl ,  

8 April,16 at 12:08 PM

Applies to:
Centrify DirectControl version 5.2.3 and lower on all platforms 

Problem:
Is there a way to avoid inserting a prefix when using the copynested group utility (CopyGroupNested.exe) so that the group name can be identical to the one in the Trusted AD Forest? Currently if the prefix is left blank the script fails to run. 

Cause: 
The copynested group utility was originally is intended to be used with a prefix so it will produce an error is the prefix switch is left blank. 

Resolution:
Starting in version 5.3.0 (Server Suite 2016) the prefix switch is now optional and may be left blank.
