Well this is just plain weird, I have an issue with a workflow error when the initiator and their manager are on two different domains. Let us say the initiator is on Domain1 so they would look like this:
Domain1\initiator
The workflow, using an Assign Flexi-Task, sends an e-mail notification via its lookup to Manager (meaning the initiator's manager). Now this works perfectly unless the initiator's manager happens to be in a different domain than the initiator like this:
Domain2\initiator's manager
In these scenarios the workflow fails with an error stating it cannot locate the e-mail address for the initiator's manager via the lookup. Upon closer inspection of the error we notice the initiator's manager looks like this:
Domain1\initiator's manager
Yes, for some odd reason the manager's domain isn't reflected as theirs but instead have been superimposed by that of the initiator's. This should be Domain2 and not Domain1. Obviously such a domain/user combination doesn't exist within AD and is invalid resulting in the workflow error.
I suspect this has something to do with AD and am wondering if anyone else has ever experienced such an odd issue. If so I would be most appreciative for any guidance or insight.
Thank you
