An alternative method for getting that information is by directly querying the FIM Sync database. It should be noted that this is not a Microsoft supported method for retrieving FIM Synchronization data as there is risk in creating a lock on a record with your query at the Continue reading Query the FIM Synchronization Service Database using SQL→

Using the MIMWAL for Setting and Communicating the Initial Password for Newly Provisioned Users

Posted on by

A challenge when provisioning accounts to Active Directory using FIM / MIM is how to securely set the initial password and communicate that password to the new user so that they can logon to their computer. In this blog posting I describe a solution that leverages activities available in the MIMWAL to do the following: Configure a Random and Complex Password Sets the Password on the Active Directory User Account that was Provisioned by FIM Continue reading Using the MIMWAL for Setting and Communicating the Initial Password for Newly Provisioned Users→

How to Disable Stale (Inactive) Accounts in AD via FIM

Posted on by

A common requirement for organizations is to disable Active Directory (AD) accounts when the account is stale (inactive). Often times the IT department will run a script directly against their AD that will identify those accounts, and then disable and move them to a specified OU. While this is effective for many, it will likely cause problems in an organization where FIM is authoritative for user accounts. In these cases, FIM may reverse the change by moving Continue reading How to Disable Stale (Inactive) Accounts in AD via FIM→

Forcing Users to Register for FIM Self Service Password Reset – SSPR

Posted on by

You have implemented FIM Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) to reduce the number of calls to your Help Desk. After a few months the Help Desk is reporting that users are still calling to have their passwords reset. You pull a report and find that a significant number of users have not registered for SSPR. In this blog post we will detail an option that forces users to register for SSPR thereby increasing your return on investment (ROI) for its implementation.

Provisioning to AD Using the MIMWAL

Posted on by

In January of 2016 Microsoft made the MIMWAL publically available. The MIMWAL is a Workflow Activity Library (WAL) for building complex workflows in the Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) 2016 and Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 R2 solution. For more information about the MIMWAL to include project source code, releases and documentation, and discussion forums visit http://microsoft.github.io/MIMWAL/. As a Microsoft Partner, we have had access to the MIMWAL prior to it being released to the public. We have utilized Continue reading Provisioning to AD Using the MIMWAL→

Reporting on FIM SSPR

Posted on by

If you have installed FIM Self Service Password Reset (SSPR), chances are that management will want to know what sort of return they are getting on their investment. One way to determine ROI on FIM SSPR is to look at the number of phone calls the Help Desk receives for password resets before and after its deployment. However, management will likely want more concrete evidence that it’s the deployment of SSPR that is lowering the number of calls. In this blog Continue reading Reporting on FIM SSPR→

Don’t Forget to Move FIM SQL Server Agent Jobs When Moving Backend FIM Databases

Posted on by

If you are moving your FIM databases from one database server to another, it is important to also bring over the default FIM Jobs. These SQL Server Agent Jobs are stored in the msdb System Database and will not come over with your FIM databases. To move these jobs, Open SQL Server Management Studio, expand SQL Server Agent and expand Jobs. Note: You will see 9 FIM related jobs (we’re running FIM 2010 R2), all Continue reading Don’t Forget to Move FIM SQL Server Agent Jobs When Moving Backend FIM Databases→

FIM or MIM Installation Error – Wizard Ended Prematurely

Posted on by

Have you received the following error installing FIM/MIM? Most likely you have because there are many prerequisites that must be met for a successful install. And what makes matters worse, the error message reported is very non-descript and there are rarely any useful information found logged anywhere on the computer. And finally, the setup wizard requires many inputs from the user and when you re-run it, the previously entered information has to be re-entered. Arghhhh!!!! Continue reading FIM or MIM Installation Error – Wizard Ended Prematurely→

Synchronizing Country from FIM to Active Directory

Posted on by

Question: What do “c”, “co”, and “countryCode” all have in common? Answer: They are all attributes found on user objects in Active Directory (AD) that represent a user’s country. So, why is this the focus of a blog post? Well, it makes synchronizing a user’s country from FIM to AD a bit more complex than one would initially think. For starters, one might ask, “which attribute do I synchronize to?” Then the next question could be, “when I change Continue reading Synchronizing Country from FIM to Active Directory→
