Here is an example of one of dozens of high ROI BizTalk applications you can build with ActiveADAPTER.
Suppose Jane is a new hire in your organization.
At the end of the hiring process, HR notify IT operations of Jane's start date. A member of IT Operations (with no Active Directory knowledge) goes to your Service Desk system, raises a new ticket, and completes a simple form about Jane's role in your organisation.
From the information entered, the Service Desk system creates an xml file and submits it to BizTalk. BizTalk uses the information in the message and ActiveADAPTER to:
- create Jane's Active Directory account
- synchronize Jane's Active Directory telephone numbers, office location, and Manager's name from the information in HR system entered during the recruitment process
- set a first-use password for Jane and specify that it must be changed on first logon
- grant Jane access to the resources she will need by placing her in a number of security groups
On Jane's first day BizTalk uses ActiveADAPTER to enable Jane's account and emails the first-use password to her Manager at 8am.
On arrival, Jane is given her first-use password and logs on with access to everything she needs.

To uninstall your evaluation version and replace it with your licensed version follow this procedure:
1. Stop any BizTalk applications and host instances that use ActiveADAPTER
2. Close any instances of the BizTalk Admin Console
3. Uninstall ActiveADAPTER through Control Panel
4. Check that the %ProgramFiles%\ActiveADAPTER folder has been completely removed
5. Install your licensed software
In most cases this shouldn't affect any receive location or send port settings you have created, but check your BizTalk applications after restarting them.

Yes. The adapter will return any exceptions back to your application AFTER any retries you have configured have been done.
Within your orchestration you can use Scope shapes to catch exceptions. In your exception handlers you can retrieve the error description to determine which way to branch.
Sample orchestrations that illustrate exception handing are included in the ActiveADAPTER Samples folder.
