I'm trying to export some users into AD from FIM. I have set up the provisioning code which is run during the synchronisation and this runs with no problem. After running the sync there are a number of pending exports to AD. The AD instance is on a seperate machine on the same network and can be accessed using ADSI edit. Imports on the AD MA also work correctly. When I export from the AD MA the connection status reports success but after a while the export reports an error with a status of stopped-ma-extension-timeout. In the event viewer of the machine running FIM, attempting the export, I get three errors: Event ID : 6500 The description for Event ID 6500 from source FIMSynchronizationService cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: There is an error in Exch2007Extension BeginExportToCd() function.Type: System.Threading.ThreadAbortException Message: Thread was being aborted. Stack Trace: at System.Array.Copy(Array sourceArray, Int32 sourceIndex, Array destinationArray, Int32 destinationIndex, Int32 length, Boolean reliable) at System.Array.Copy(Array sourceArray, Int32 sourceIndex, Array destinationArray, Int32 destinationIndex, Int32 length) at System.Collections.Generic.List`1.set_Capacity(Int32 value) at System.Collections.Generic.List`1.EnsureCapacity(Int32 min) at System.Collections.Generic.List`1.Insert(Int32 index, T item) at System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1.InsertItem(Int32 index, T item) at System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1.Add(T item) at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.AdminPSSnapIn.get_Cmdlets() at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceConfigForSingleShell.MergeCustomPSSnapIn(PSSnapInInfo mshsnapinInfo, CustomPSSnapIn customPSSnapIn) at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceConfigForSingleShell.LoadCustomPSSnapIn(PSSnapInInfo mshsnapinInfo) at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceConfigForSingleShell.LoadPSSnapIn(PSSnapInInfo mshsnapinInfo) at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceConfigForSingleShell.LoadPSSnapIn(PSSnapInInfo mshsnapinInfo, PSSnapInException& warning) at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceConfigForSingleShell.DoAddPSSnapIn(String name, PSSnapInException& warning) at Exch2007Extension.Exch2007ExtensionClass.BeginExportToCd(String connectTo, String domain, String server, String user, String password) the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table Event 6801 The extensible extension returned an unsupported error.

Any idea? boteasy

Have you seen this topic: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ilm2/thread/650ebec4-4d49-49f9-8821-e59abd9d4771 And my suggestion: Are you provisioning to Exchange 2007? Do you have the Exchange 2007 management tools installed on the FIM Server? First using a powershell prompt: Add-windowsfeature Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-Metabase The with the Exchange 2007 SP3 binaries: setup /mode:install /roles:mt P.S. for Exchange 2010 this is not required as this utlizes Powershell Remotinghttp://setspn.blogspot.com
