  • Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 hotfix rollup 4.1.3451.0 Available

    This week, Microsoft has released hotfix rollup 4.1.3451.0 for FIM 2010 R2, which you can download from KB2849119.

    This update fixes a few minor issues, detailed in the KB article, which I have kindly provided the summaries for below:

    FIM Synchronization Service

    Issue 1

    Password management operations fail because the path for the cached version of the extension .dll file is too long. This problem also affects the WebService connector that is included in Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2.

    Issue 2

    In certain cases in which the Synchronization Service processes ancestors, memory leaks occur.

    FIM Certificate Management

    Feature 1

    This update adds the ability in the SubjectAltName policy to specify the RegisteredID alternate name in the Subject Alternate Name entry when a certificate request is issued.

    Reporting

    Issue 1

    If you have Microsoft System Center Service Manager 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed, and you try to run a change-mode installation for FIM Service and Portal, the installation fails.

    When you install FIM Reporting on a new server that has Service Manager 2012 SP1 installed, follow these steps:

    1. Install the FIM 2010 R2 SP1 FIMService component. To do this, clear the Reporting check box.

    2. Upgrade the FIMService installation to build 4.1.3451.0.

    3. Run the change-mode installation for the FIMService, and then add Reporting.

  • FIM Reporting Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process

    With the release of FIM 2010 R2, Microsoft introduced reporting capability into Forefront Identity Manager 2010 via the System Center Service Manager (SCSM) Data Warehousing capabilities.

    Paul Williams over at Microsoft has just released a great article on the FIM Reporting Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process within FIM 2010 R2, and it’s well worth a read.

    For those that are new to FIM Reporting (all of us!), this is a great overview of how data moves between the FIM Services and the SCSM data warehouse and is helpful if you’re looking at setting up and configuring FIM Reporting.
