Query the FIM Synchronization Service Database using SQL

Often times when managing a FIM / MIM implementation you may find that you need information that is not available to you via the Synchronization Service Manager tool. 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 same time that the FIM Synchronization service is processing that record which could cause data corruption. However, as David Lundell mentioned in a blog post, it is possible to do this safely using a couple of different approaches. For more on this, see his blog post here.

In this blog posting I’m sharing a few SQL queries that I put together that can provide some valuable information that can’t be found using the FIM Sync Manager tool to include:

  • List of all users with the number of connectors for each
  • List of the connectors that any given user has
  • List of all connectors and the number of users that have that connector
  • List of users missing a connector to the Active Directory management agent
  • Total counts of metaverse and connector objects

I hope the SQL queries in this blog posting can be of assistance to you. If anything, they can serve as examples so that you may write your own queries and find information not available through the FIM Synchronization Tool. As always, please reply with questions or comments below! Thanks!
