Sync Directory - Import groups with odd names

Hi there,

I've created a group in Active Directory called "VRA-Department-Users", but after the directory sync, I'm seeing the Sync log and the new group is imported with some kind of ID instead of the group name ($EM9000-41CJAG4O8QPA). When I've tried to add this new group in a Business Group, I cannot find it by the name, but appears by the ID.

This is the second time it happens to me in different vRA 7.x installations and versions.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

D.

Never seen that symptom before. Check the hotfix KB for your version to see if this is addressed in any notes.

I realize that this happens every time I create a Group in AD using vRO workflow. If I create the group directly in AD, it works correctly.
