Component: IDSVA

Resolution

When configuring Active Directory endpoints, specify the AD domain controller address, not the VIP.

When creating AD Accounts, it is multi-step process (i.e. create account, set pwd, set useraccountcontrol, set groups, set other attr, create mailbox).

What happens if the requests get spread out to different DCs, is that you can
end up with replication latency and collision objects.

The AD Connector provides a failover list of DCs so you should just point to DCs and have the backup DC list.
