Possible bug in createUserGroup Active Directory action - SamAccountName not populated as expected

vCO 5.5.1

I have been using the createUserGroup Active Directory action to create a new group in AD. However, the SamAccountName does not get populated with the name of the group, rather a random string of characters. See example below. I would expect the Group name (pre-Windows 2000), i.e. the SamAccountName attribute, to be Test1:

I wrote a blog post about how to workaround it here http://www.jonathanmedd.net/2014/05/vco-active-directory-create-user-group-action-does-not-populate-...

We have this reported. and there is a fix for it.

We have added new workflow which allows you to update also Group name (pre-Windows 2000). It will be available in next plugin update release.
