This activity only replaces existing values with new values. It cannot add new values to AD records such as adding a new group member to an AD group.

To access this activity in the Workflow Editor, select the Custom tab, and then navigate to Custom Activities > Active Directory.Note: This activity replaces an AD activity by the same name available in prior releases.
