Collector error: "Input string was not in a correct format" (4265233)

When performing an Active Roles Collection job, the following error is observed after trying to collect Group Hierarchy information:

Input string was not in a correct format

A group name in the environment contains a { or } character. While this is a supported character in a Windows group name, the Active Roles collector is unable to properly process the bracket.

This issue has been identified as a product defect and given the defect ID 217928

WORKAROUND

Workaround 1. Disable the Group Hierarchy collection option in the collector

Workaround 2. Remove the { } characters from any group names

STATUS

Waiting for fix in a future release of Active Roles.
