Rebuild action fails in Aria Automation 8.12.1 with "failed with errors:null" message

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• Rebuild action fails in Aria Automation 8.12.1 with "failed with errors:null" message when active directory integration is leveraged.

[ad-integration] Active Directory Action CREATE_MACHINE for request <RequestID> failed with errors:null

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.12.x

Cause

During rebuild, the machine is deleted and re-created. While recreating, the Active Directory integration is invoked again to create the Active Directory computer object which is failing as it sees that the VM with the same name already exists.

Resolution

The issue is resolved in the Aria Automation 8.13.2 release

Workaround:

To workaround the issue you can manually delete the active directory computer object of the machine

For example the Virtual Machine name is 'VM123'

1. Delete existing computer object 'VM123' from the Active Directory manually
2. Trigger Rebuild action again in Aria Automation and it will complete successfully
