A "Not found" error when trying to import a user group in M-Files Admin

Last updated on 25 April 2024

M-Files Admin

Overview

You may get a "Not found" similar to the one below when importing a user group from AD in M-Files Admin (line numbers may vary depending on the M-Files version). This usually indicates a network connectivity issue between the M-Files Server and the AD domain controller.

Solution

Ensure the network connection between the M-Files Server and the AD domain controller works. More precisely, we have seen this error, at least when the traffic to port 3268 is blocked, e.g., by a firewall. Ensure the M-Files Server can connect to the domain controller's port 3268 and nothing blocks the traffic to that port. Also, port 3289 might need to be open.

You can use, e.g., a command like below in Windows PowerShell to test the connectivity. 

test-netconnection -computername <IP address of DC> -port 3268

See more information about the used ports in Microsoft documentation, e.g., here (note that this is an external link not maintained by M-Files).
