Could not find the name or insufficient right to see name
Symptoms
When executing an Active Directory automation task you receive the following error.
Name translation could not find the name or insufficient right to see name.
Cause
- This error can occur if an LDAP path entered in the Active Directory automation task is not valid or the Web Server application pool account does not have permissions to the path.
- This error can also be seen when multiple directory service operations are performed by an automation profile and are inadvertently executed on multiple domain controllers. The different domain controllers do not have up-to date information until directory replication occurs.
Resolution
- Ensure that the path is valid and that the Web Server application pool account has the required permissions to access the path in Active Directory.
- Specify a domain controller that should perform all directory related automation tasks in the automation profile.
It is possible to use the Active Directory domain controller selection task to identify a domain controller to use rather than hard coding a domain controller name in the automation tasks.
