Getting an error when trying to start notification:

Message: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 6, position 35.

Here's the offending line:

      <organizational-unit>Users & Groups\Users\Tepnel\Tepnel Sharepoint Users</organizational-unit>

Is it due to spaces, or the ampersand? Is there anyway around this?

I figured out a solution for this. I replaced the ampersand with the xml entity &amp;

<organizational-unit>Users &amp; Groups\Users\Tepnel\Tepnel Sharepoint Users</organizational-unit>

My initial thought is the same as yours regarding the ampersand.  Let me do some checking on my end and get back to you on that. 

In the meantime, which version of Password Expiration are you using and what are the server details where you are trying to kick off the notification (i.e. Win2k3 64-bit, etc.)?

Regards,

I just downloaded the trial today. I think it was 1.2.

Server is Win2k3 Standard SP2 32-bit, Intel Xeon 3Ghz, 2GB RAM. Let me know if you need anymore info.

Glad you figured it out.  I had this post to respond to on my schedule for this afternoon and just hadn't gotten to it yet.  Thanks for posting back so anyone else in the community having this issue can see!

Thanks,
