I just wanted to share this with the community as I have found it extremely powerful in implementing FIM. It is a FIM extension that runs PowerShell scripts for the IMVSynchronization and IMASynchronization interfaces. I have example scripts and what I think is enough documentation to get people started assuming they are familiar with the concepts of those two interfaces. I'm also looking for feedback. I have been using this (in many cases instead of code-less portal sync rules) in a pre-production environment for 2 months. I plan to roll it into a full production (40k user objects) environment in the next month. http://fim.codeplex.com

Interesting... PowerShell vs C#/VB knowledge aside, what's the value prop here?My Book - Active Directory, 4th Edition My Blog - www.briandesmond.com

I just <3 powershell :) Really though, PowerShell was way easier teaching my team of windows sysadmins vs c#/vb fundamentals let alone the VS IDE. Getting development to own code in FIM would also be a struggle as we don't have an I.T. centric group of coders (they are divided by business unit mainly for all business units except I.T.!!). So, with this simple extension, now our sysadmins can understand some of the more complex provisioning processes within FIM without understanding a lot about .NET. Compiling code every time I want to tweak something just seems odd, plus usually having VS on a server that is running FIM, even a test server, is not something as a sysadmin i approve of; though I just copied the dll from the installer to use as a reference for the build of the extension on my workstation. I would imagine MS could integrate PowerShell or extensible code-less provisioning into the FIM portal and reduce the need for extensions all together, but until then, this is a way easier option at the moment, especially for deploys that don't require FIM portal.

This looks interesting, but, also opens the door too easily to do things to your connected directory that should be happening during export. I would be very careful with this.Paul Loonen (Avanade) | MCM: Directory 2008 | MVP: ILM
