Create after action on AD not fired

Question

This is to create exchange email box after the user is created. So a 'create after action, should be initiated on AD after creating
a user.
I added this field in 'Create User form' at the end.
<Field name='accounts[AD].create after action'>
<Expansion>
<s>AfterCreate</s>
</Expansion>
</Field>
Had a resource action object as:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE Waveset PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
<Waveset>
<ResourceAction name='AfterCreate'>
<ResTypeAction restype='Windows Active Directory' timeout='75000'>
<act>
<!-- This is to test whether this is being fired .I supposed to call a batch file.-->
echo create >> c:\%WSUSER_employeeID%.txt
exit
</act>
</ResTypeAction>
</ResourceAction>
</Waveset>
And Mapped in AD Schema as:
<AccountAttributeType id='10' name='create after action' syntax='string' mapName='IGNORE_ATTR' mapType='string'>
</AccountAttributeType>
Basically, this action is not being fired at all.
I am not sure if �create after action� was put in the wrong form in the �create user� workflow or the GW has any issues?
Can anybody give me some pointers?
Thanks.

Answer 1

the code above works. the gateway service needs to be running as a user with sufficient permissions. initially, this change didn't seem to take on my win2003 server, but after a reboot it worked fine.
Other than that I followed the resource ref doc, and I placed the field in the AD User Form, see below for a snippet showing the location I used.
<Field name='accounts[$(RESOURCE_NAME)].Distinguished name'/>
<Field name='accounts[$(RESOURCE_NAME)].Manager'/>
<Field name='accounts[$(RESOURCE_NAME)].Mail Nick Name'/>
</Field>
<Field name='accounts[AD].create after action'>
<Expansion>
<s>ADAfterCreate</s>
</Expansion>
</Field>
</Form>
