That's to less on information. Where and when do this error occur?
Hi Thanks for the reply
I have a scheduled job that sets up AD accounts for students in a college,
it basically checks if they are current active students or not.
If they are not active, it disables their accounts and move them to an archive folder.
The Job runs on a Hangfire.
As far as I think
the error is on line 318 as the Stack trace suggests
After the account is created and the aduser data is saved, it lastly checks if the account is in right OU and moves to a new path if its not
`
// Ensure the account is in the right OU
var destPath = String.Format("LDAP://student.college.ac.uk/CN={0},OU={1},OU=Students,OU=User Accounts,DC=student,DC=college,DC=ac,DC=uk", RefNo, year);
if (adUserObject.Path != destPath)
{
// path needs to be different to actually move it (!)
destPath = String.Format("LDAP://OU={0},OU=Students,OU=User Accounts,DC=student,DC=stanmore,DC=ac,DC=uk", year);
DirectoryEntry dest = new DirectoryEntry(destPath, ActiveDirectory.Connections.StudentAccounts.User, ActiveDirectory.Connections.StudentAccounts.Password);
adUserObject.MoveTo(dest);
}
line:318- adUserObject.CommitChanges();
`
Let me know if you need more info, I can send you the entire file.
Thanks for the help, its a major issue.
The job is triggered in order to SetUp Student AD accounts. Error occurs when 83% of the job is done,

I don't have any details on the HangFire product or your implementation, but from the code sample you have shared, I would suggest, the either the RefNo or year attributes for the user in question don't have valid data, and this has resulted in an invalid DN, which causes the AD move to fail.
Probably best to reach out to the person or company that implemented the solution for you.
Gary.
Thanks for the responses.
I tried resolving this from the code base itself, but as Stefan suggested, I had to manually go inside their AD account and investigate.
Looked like the GUID was attached to the AD name and hence the function wasn't able to fetch the AD account let alone, call methods on it, and it failed the job as the it wasn't in the try catch block (no error handling).
This job creates the AD accounts too, hence I deleted the account in question and after that the job ran fine and succeeded.
Included loads of try catch blocks to get this.
Hi,
perhaps the user object is corrupted by previous settings (?), something like that:
Can you open the user object in DSA and save ?
Does "adUserObject.MoveTo(dest);" when you have adUserObject and dest set for this the user?
Regards,
Stefan
Hi there,
The error message the server is unwilling to process the request is generic and might indicate a lot of reasons for the script to fail. Posting the script might help the community to identify the issue. Check if the student's group is in the 'global' scoped group or 'universal' scoped group.

The Job runs on a Hangfire.
That's not a Microsoft product; better contact the software vendor support for assistance.
