fix

This issue is addressed in NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator and Exchange Administrator version 7.5 Hotfix 46969.

This hotfix addresses an issue where DRA does not correctly set password properties when cloning a user account. When you clone a user account that has the "User must change password at next logon" property set, DRA may not save changes to this property.  This hotfix corrects this issue and makes sure the password properties in the cloned account match the selections you make in the clone wizard.

Note: This Hotfix requires DRA version 7.5.

To install this hotfix, you need to run the hotfix setup program on each Administration server computer and on each computer where you installed the DRA Account and Resource Management Console.

Perform the following steps on each Administration server computer:

1. Stop the NetIQ Administration service.
2. Run the DRA75000_Hotfix46969.msi file.
3. Start the NetIQ Administration service.

Perform the following steps on each computer where you installed the DRA Account and Resource Management Console:

1. Close all DRA user interfaces.
2. Run the DRA75000_Hotfix46969.msi file.

This hotfix modifies the following files:

• On the Administration server, Accounts.dll.
• On the ARM console computer, NetIQ.DRA.Console.Accounts.dll.

By default, these files are located in the Program Files\NetIQ\DRA folder.
