Introduction

There are a number of variables in use throughout each workflow which can be amended as required. 

Note, that amending these variables will change how the workflow functions so only update variables that require changing and where you understand the impact. 

Editing a variable

Go to the following area:

• Login to your AD Connector portal (IT Access only)
• Workflow Configuration > [Workflow you wish to edit] > Global Variables > Edit Record

You will then be presented with the option to edit any of the variables with the edit icon.

Make the required changes and then click Save.

Updating domain details

Where you need to edit the domain details of your service (decommissioning a Domain Controller or updating root domain name), this is managed with the below variables.

• DomainController
• DomainRoot

If you need to update the domain suffix applied to new user creations, this is managed with the below.

• DomainName

Please note that where multiple domains have ben configured for your service, this may have additional logic working behind the scenes. In this situation, please raise a customer care ticket for this to be investigated first.

Enabling functionality

There are specific functions configured and ready to be enabled on implementation. This can be achieved through the global variables by switching certain "flag" states to "true".

Depending on the function, additional config may be required. Details of which can be found in the corresponding links below.

• FlagAssignGroupSecurity
• FlagCreateHomeDrive
• FlagEnableMailboxCreation
• FlagGeneratePassword
• EnablePhotoUpdate
