Deprovisioning Status attributes are always NULL or empty in a Change Workflow or Policy Script triggered by a Deprovision operation (4336906)

In any Change Workflow or Policy script event handler which is triggered by a Deprovision operation, any attempt to query Deprovision Status attributes will always result in a NULL or empty value being returned.

For example:

onPostDeprovision($Request)

{

  $value1 = $DirObj.Get("edsvaDeprovisionStatus")

  $value2 = $DirObj.Get("edsvaDeprovisionReportXML")

}

Both of these values will always be NULL.

This is expected functionality.

Deprovision status attributes are only written after all Deprovision operations have been completed, including programmatic pre- and post-deprovision operations.

WORKAROUND

Use a Scheduled Task or Automation Workflow to periodically check query the value of Deprovision status attributes if desired.
