Just trying to make basic flow that creates a user in Active Directory, managed to get connected to the server, however I am getting this error when using the "Create User" action.

Correlation Id: 6928e489-caaa-41e6-a04e-881d1fde8536

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.: Microsoft.PowerPlatform.PowerAutomate.Desktop.Actions.SDK.ActionException: Password couldn't be set. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: One or more input parameters are invalid

The password I am trying to set is certainly of the correct length and complexity, and doesn't break any of our rules.

I am also using the desktop version, is that better or worse? Should I use the online version?

Thank you.

  • "The password I am trying to set is certainly of the correct length and complexity, and doesn't break any of our rules." - are you 100% sure the password doesn't contain any parts of the user's _name_? If a user is named `Jon Doe`, then neither `jon` nor `doe` can be part of the password – Mathias R. Jessen Jul 14 '23 at 11:26
  • It certainly doesn't no, That was my first thought, Firstname/Surname are competely unique from the password. – Harry Goodall Jul 14 '23 at 11:32
