Is it possible to install the FIMAutomation PowerShell snapin on a machine without installing FIM? I would like to run some code generation scripts from a development machine without having to switch necessarily to the FIM server. Thanks, PaoloPaolo Tedesco - http://cern.ch/idm

Probably there are some more clean ways, but I got it working as below.- Copy in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Service" the file named Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.dll from a working FIM installation- Load related registry keys, exportable from a working installation, from the key[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\FIMAutomation]andrea--Andrea FogazziAvanade

While looking for something other I noticed this:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff400277(WS.10).aspx... If you want to run the scripts on a different computer, you must install the Windows PowerShell PSSnapin manually on that computer. For more information about installing Windows PowerShell snap-ins, see Add-PS Snapin (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=182475). You will need Microsoft.ResourceManagement.dll and Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.dll for the cmdlets to work on a separate computer

Thanks for you help Andrea, following your first hint I had managed to use the snapin on another machine, though I had registered it with C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe -i .\Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.dll which I think is a necessary step before running Add-PSSnapin. I think the snapin also needs (indirectly) Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Logging.dll, as it is a dependency of Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.dll. Paolo Tedesco - http://cern.ch/idm

FYI - the path to the installutil.exe you use is dependent upon the architecture you have deployed. For x64 systems you'll need to use the Framework64 directory instead.
