When creating a new group, it continues to assign the same gid to each new AD item instead of incrementing 1 number as it's set to do.
Applies to: All versions of DirectControl
Problem: When creating a group, the GID is set to the same number even though it is already in use and the setting to auto-increment 1 is in place.
Resolution: 1) Close access manager console
2) Navigate to the OU location of your Zones in ADUC. (if you don't see it, ensure 'Advanced Features' are enabled via the 'View' menu item inside ADUC)
3) Under OU=Zones, right-click on the target zone container and click on 'Properties'.
4) Within properties, go to the 'Attribute Editor' tab.
5) Under 'Attribute Editor', double-click on the 'description' attribute. Under here, there are two notable items:
gidnext
gidreserved
Make note of the values of these items.
6) Click on 'gidnext: xxxxx' and select 'Remove' (don't worry, it will move to the box above). Change the gidnext value to the desired next value. Click 'Add' to restore the attribute. Apply changes.
7) Open Access Manager again and attempt to re-provision the user/group. It should reflect the gidnext value that was modified and then this value should be incremented (check in ADUC once more).
