Firing of business rules from within business rules

Question

Hi,

I have a business rule that triggers on creation of a user
In its actions it:
Moves the user to a specific OU
Calls a powershell script to mailbox enable the user
Modifies the user to clear some attributes

The problem is the last action fires another business rule that I have that fires when accounts are updated

My question is this:
Can you suppress business rules from firing when the action that would normally fire it was caused by another business rule?

Thanks in advance

Phil

I thought of something to maybe help you here. What about using an Adaxes custom boolean bit. Have you first business rule set the bit true and have the second business rule run only if not equal to true. On the second business rule that will be kicked off, have it run another action to clear the bit.

To map it a little

Moves the user to a specific OU
Calls a powershell script to mailbox enable the user
Modifies the user to clear some attributes
Set boolean bit to true

Second businees rule on modify
do this as long as boolean bit is not equal to true

Second action in second business rule
Set remove boolean bit

Does this help?
