You use Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 in your company network. The fullName attribute is used to generate a unique logon name for each user by using a FIM Workflow activity. Before users…

Expected rule entries (EREs) govern how objects are projected or joined in the metaverse, not the execution of collision-check logic embedded in workflow activities.

Declarative provisioning rules control how metaverse objects are provisioned to connected data sources, but they do not contain the custom collision-check or logon name generation logic described in the scenario.

The collision check and unique logon name generation logic is implemented as a custom action workflow activity within FIM 2010. Since the problem specifically involves the failure to handle duplicate fullName attributes during user object creation, the custom workflow activity responsible for performing that collision check and generating unique names is the most likely source of the defect. Examining the custom action workflow activity allows you to trace the logic that evaluates uniqueness and determines whether the object creation proceeds.

The Management Agent connects FIM to external data sources and handles import/export operations, but the duplicate fullName collision check is performed by the workflow activity before object creation, not by the Management Agent itself.
