Combinding Resources in the FIM Portal Navigation Bar

We have two different OUs for computers in our AD that have the same attributes. Server and Workstation, there is no attribute that indicates if the computer is a server or a workstation. My solution was to create two different MAs, AD Server MA and Workstation MA and corresponding Metaversa objects and FIM schema objects. All good so far, I sync the appropriate computer objects from each ou into their corresponding FIM schema objects.  I have created FIM Portal Navigation Bar Resources for each that show the Servers and Workstations correctly.  My question is this,  I would like a Nav Bar resource - Computers - that combine both of these resources, and then under Computers have Servers and Workstations - is this possible?

Computers

      Servers

      Workstations

Thanks in advance

Hello,

thats quite easy to do.

Simple create a "Search Scope" that includes both Computer types.

Use this search scope as the Navigation Bar URL, the easiest way to get the URL (which contains the GUID of the Search Scope) is to add "Global" to the Search Scope Keyword, after that you can use the Search scope from the FrontPage of the Portal for a search. In IE you should then see the URL for this Search scope an can use this in the NavBar Res.

The article ManuJ mentioned above will help you with that, here is the link:
