Password reset failing when using special characters in password

[vdeshpande]

I have configured a password reset tool to reset password in Active Directory (using orchestration)

I see that it works fine when we use password without special characters. It is failing when I use any special characters like @,&_$

I get below error

{"message":" *** The server is unwilling to process the request. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072035)Stack Trace:","isFatal":true,"activityName":"Reset the password","wfName":"Pwd Reset - AD"}

we have password validation and it allows special characters . There is no restriction from AD end too

Any idea where this may be failing ?

Thanks

I'm afraid there is a known bug there that we haven't fixed yet - mid server doesn't like passwords with &'s.

See this community post for more details.

I am using the custom design Activity running on powershell which works fine.

You guys can try to build the powershell activity instead of using OOB.
