The company I work for is in the education business. We often add thousands of AD accounts during short periods of time, at the beginning of courses. Our previous identity management solution was configured to create and mail an Excel file with a list of names, samAccountNames and passwords to the administrator of each department at every synchronization run (if new accounts were created during the sync run). How would I go about doing something similar with FIM? It doesn't have to be an Excel file, a plain text mail would be fine. But it's out of the question to send one mail per individual account. I realize that I must store the passwords somewhere between the sync runs and that could pose a security risk but we're willing to live with that. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! /Jonas

We had the same requirement and it lead us to use SSRS with Data-Driven Subscriptions. The FIM notifications are great but nowhere near as flexible as SSRS. Unfortunately with this approach we were not able to re-use the Email Templates in FIM, but were using the SSRS Report Designer to craft the e-mail body. Marrying the two required some fun customization. The prescribed approach is to get the data out of FIM and into a reporting database, then produce reports against that database. Another approach could be to get the data you need by querying with PowerShell and the FIMAutomation snap-in. Once you have the data you need, it is quick work in PowerShell to create Excel files and send e-mail.CraigMartin Edgile, Inc. http://identitytrench.com
