Owner not getting updated in target systems

[HarshaVP]

We have a use case where when AD groups are created in a certain OU, the owner is details are not getting picked up from the endpoint. We would like to know how to populate the owner for such AD groups.

• Did you defined mapping in AD Connector under "createUpdateMappings"?

[HarshaVP]

Yes it is defined. The issue here is that we have 2 types of AD groups - Standard and Admin and we have 2 types of user accounts - Normal and Admin. 
Normal account is the owner for both Standard and Admin groups however we are facing this issue when the owner that is chosen during the creation of Admin AD group - if the owner doesnt have his own Admin account along with normal account then the owner is not getting updated in AD.

Account needs to be exists before creating group. This is expected behavior
