SharePoint Designer Workflow issues in SP1
As I was testing out some workflows in a development environment earlier today, that has SP1 applied to it, I was running across some weird issues with some SharePoint Designer workflows. If I had a SharePoint Designer workflow attached to any list or library that was set to automatically start (either when an item is created or modified) the workflow wasn’t starting at all. At first I was looking through my logs to see if there was anything showing up because of something in my configuration, and of course nothing was showing up. The worst part is if I changed the workflow to be able to start manually, the workflow kicks off and completes as expected.
After much troubleshooting I found a forum post that suggested if you are logged in as the Farm Admin account workflows that are set to start automatically will not start. So I created a test user with normal permissions, created a list item with that user, and BAM the workflow works as expected.
I have never seen this issue before pre-SP1, so I can only assume is has to do with one of the security enhancements that SP1 included.
If you have come across this in a pre-SP1 environment, please let me know… then more testing can continue
