Hello everyone,

I have one big problem, if I was trying to enable LazyApproval from Central Administration on our SharePoint 2013 Foundation. I got following error. 

Error enabling or disabling LazyApproval.: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Error in the application. 
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.UpdateDirectoryManagementService(String oldAlias, String newAlias)

Do you have someone some suggestion to resolve this problem?

Thank for any ideas.

I'd try doing it login with a Farm Admin Account.

And also write to support@nintex.com
