Yes more questions. I'm just thirsty for knowledge.How do I automate the Management agents to sync or do they just automatically run on a predefined schedule? Or am I "missing an important config step" here?ThanksSean"Someday I'll be answering these 'silly questions'" ;)Computers are cool. I just can't hold myself back.

Management agents will run on a schedule that you specify. The concepts involved here haven't changed substantially since MIIS 2003/ILM 2007.See the following for some light reading on configuring Run Profiles: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc720554(WS.10).aspxhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/827118http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952732http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/0/0/30082d6f-69b7-446f-9b29-dbd460b94f8a/MIIS_Run_Profiles.docLaura E.

Oh THAT is Beautiful :)No chance this can be done with my old friend Powershell eh?SeanComputers are cool. I just can't hold myself back.

Well, your question was about "automatically run on a predefined schedule" - right :-)Of course can you use PowerShell to run a script: set-variable -name MaName -value "<Your MA Name>" -option constant set-variable -name ProfileName -value "Full Import" -option constant $curMA = @(get-wmiobject -class "MIIS_ManagementAgent"` -namespace "root\MicrosoftIdentityIntegrationServer"` -computername "."` -filter "Name='$MaName'") if($curMA.count -eq 0){throw (new-object Exception "MA not found")} write-host "`nStarting $ProfileName on $MaName" write-host "Result: $($curMA[0].Execute($ProfileName).ReturnValue)`n" #--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- trap [Exception] { Write-Host "`nError: $($_.Exception.Message)`n" -foregroundcolor white -backgroundcolor darkred Exit } #--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers,Markus Markus Vilcinskas, Technical Content Developer, Microsoft Corporation

Oh *THAT'S* just beauty beyond description. B)Does that mean the "Final Cut" of FIM2010 will have a Powershell Module? Please? PLEASE? X)SeanComputers are cool. I just can't hold myself back.

Yes and no :o)We willreleasesome cmdletsfor the export-import-scenario.However, there won't be anything from us beyond this.If you look at the PS script above,you will notice that it justleverages the available WMI interface.Partners - such asQuest - are planning on releasing what you are looking for.Cheers,MarkusMarkus Vilcinskas, Technical Content Developer, Microsoft Corporation
