TypeError: Cannot call method "getAttribute" of null

We have an odd issue where we have a workflow that runs and creates and AD group with the $, but it fails to rename the group with the message below.  If I start the group name with A-L it works, but anything above that failes.  We are at vrealize orchestrator 7.3 and AD plugin is 3.0.5.  I have tested on a different domain and it works fine.  So not sure if it is a AD issue. 

Error in (Workflow:Create AD Group and add user / Set Group Name Consistently (item12)#55024) TypeError: Cannot call method "getAttribute" of null

Can you share the workflow and the exact steps you do to reproduce the error?

It fails on the Set Group Name Consistently step.  It works when the group name starts with A-L.

In my environment, it fails at a later stage, on item 'Recursive user Search'. But as the code is written, it won't work work for sure, due to the line 

if (userPrincipalName = strUserName) {

Where does userPrincipalName comes from? Also, why do you use an assignment instead of comparison?

Looks
like we found our issue with the AD and a limit of 1000 per page.  It
looks like the AD plugin 3.0 and above has a code you can run.  Would you
be able to tell us how we can modify the workflow to work with that fix?
