During the provisioning step of Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service (FIM Synchronization Service), we recommend that you verify that on a FIM Synchronization Service database (metaverse) object, certain attribute values exist before you continue with the provisioning logic.
The following example shows how you can verify that an object has the required attribute and attribute values before provisioning logic creates new connectors. This specific example verifies that the employeeStatus attribute is present and contains either active or inactive.
If the employeeStatus attribute is not present or contains a value other than active or inactive, the example throws an UnexpectedDataException exception. The UnexpectedDataException exception causes the "extension-unexpected-attribute-value" error to appear in the Synchronization Service Manager for the management agent.
