Hello Community,
Problem : When orchestration executes 'remove user from group' activity, the result says that it couldn't remove the user because the user is NOT a member of the group. However, if I pull that group using a different activity or via ldap browsing or simply looking in AD, all avenues confirm the user IS a member of the group.
Question: What could be causing the incorrect feedback while trying to remove a user from an AD group?

Initially I was running workflow activity "Is User In Group" and then "Remove User From Group". I have tried moving to Flow Designer and the result is the same.

may be both the groups while removing user and checking group membership are different
did you check and compare?

Yes. Running the 'is user in group' activity in workflow was showing user was NOT in group. Running the Flow Designer Action showed the user IS in the group. That's why i migrated to Flow Designer but it is still returning a result that the user is not in the group which is part of the confusion.
