Yes please release!In lots of cases the FIM server or the demo environment has no internet access.Offline reading documentation happens frequently.And the downloadable ILM documentation has been very valuable to support customers.Kind regards,PeterPeter Geelen - Sr. Consultant IDA (http://www.traxion.com) [If a post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.

Don't you have polls on the forum?Not yet - working on it...In the meantime, we have to use what we have :o)Cheers,MarkusMarkus Vilcinskas, Knowledge Engineer, Microsoft Corporation

Please do. I now convert all IE/Technet pages to PDF's to deliver alongside custom documentation.I also download the whole Technet ISO through subscription but the FIM documents are not in there (yet), just pointers to the web.Danny Alvares, Technical Solutions Architect IAM

yes please. Downloadable format will definitely help.

I'm working on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise and I would like install FIM CM and AD CS on the same server or on different server; but I don't find a documentation which describe clearly step by step the installation and the configuration on the server and FIM 2010 solution. Someone tried the installation ?

PLEASE do provide the docs in ebook compatible format, including word. Please don't just release as pdf only since it can't be formatted for non-computer devices (kindle/eReaders). I was originally handed the RC zipfile of docs and found them helpful and now looking for the RTM docs and found the other thread (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ilm2/thread/ed33b531-a69a-4156-b039-17dfd6c126f1). Some of us are just passed the files w/o knowing it's exact origins and where/how to feedback. Perhaps future packages can include a readme about these processes?

Yes, I definitely would find downloadable FIM documentation helpful and would greatly appreciate it.

I agree with Peter and I would like to add that many development and test environment also don't have internet access. Kind regards, Pjuske Rasmussen

Another thing with the developer reference and tech reference, this really should be offline, most, I would say about 75 percent of the dev environment I work in on client sites don't have internet access and the search for the internet info is pretty poor. With the old product, it was quite nice to work through the chm file... Joe Stepongzi - Identity Management Consultant - ILM MVP - www.microsoftIdM.com,ilmXframework.codeplex.com

Yes!! Downloadable documentation would be so helpful.
