Actually I think you’re right. Deletions can be triggered in a delta sync – but not in this case where the object has been sitting there unchanged for some time. Good catch!

Carol, great post! One question though…

You mentioned in the comments that the final deprovision occurs during a delta sync. However, I must be missing something since a delta sync on the disabled object will never occur unless something changes on the Active Directory side to cause the account to be imported during a delta import.

Could you elaborate on how the delta sync on the object is being triggered?

The provision sub is run after *every* change to a metaverse object – and a deletion is considered a change. You have to be prepared for this in your code, by always testing for connectors and existance of attributes.

why the provision method called again after calling the csentry.Deprovision()

OK that’s good you sorted it out.

To delete objects you must enable deletions with the “Stage a delete…” option on the Deprovisioning tab of the MA, then use the csentry.Deprovision() command in your provisioning code.

Carol, Please tell me how to configure Deprovisioning in both managment agents and in the Metaverse Desginer.

OK, well there’s bound to be an explanation. Have you gone through in debug mode to see exactly where the error is occurring?

the if (mventry["info"].IsPresent) evaluated as true.

If the info attribute is unpopulated in the metaverse you can get this error. Have you still got the test for mventry(“info”).IsPresent in the If statement?
