Hello, I would like to know if the following is possible with FIM 2010 R2: - can users reset their passwords without having to pass by password registration process? can they automatically be registered by an administrator? - can we remove teh Q&A gate from the password reset process. so users will just get the secret code in their email and enter this code to reset their passwords? Thanks.MM

This should be possible in the upcoming R2 release uisng the one of the OTP gates (SMS or Mail). ADministrator or sync engine can then prepolutate the Mobile number for SMS OTP, or the alternative email address for Mail OTP.

and is it possible to remove Q&A gate from the password reset workflow? so the user would just put his username for password reset and enter the security code sent to his email or his mobile?MM

Hi MAMK, In FIM 2010 R2, it will be possible for the admin to programatically register all the users. Regarding your second question, you can configure the AuthN workflow in any way you like with regards to the type of gates, number of gates and the order in which they appear in the registration/reset sequence. Therefore, you can easily configure the workflow with OTP SMS and email gates but no QA gate. Thanks!

Hi MAMK, You'd have to wait for FIM 2010 R2 RTM for that feature. Thanks!

Hi SaFanek, is the method to programatically register bulk users available in fim 2010 R2 RC or do we have to wait for RTM? Thank you.MM

Hi Safanek, since RTM now is available, do you have an idea of the powershell command(s) to bulk register users for password reset? MM
