So I have added computers to the FIM portal to allow IT admins modify computer attributes and project them back to AD.

I am unable to modify the columns displayed on the pages I have created though. I customized the columns in the All Users it was easy, I followed the same steps and modified the columns in the search scope for all Computers but no luck.

Any assistance on this would be he

Any chance you can provide some more background.
what did you do to create Computers in portal. New Objects, New Group, or what. Some screen shots would help.

Which view you are trying to change? where is that you want the columns reordered?

No problem.

On your search scope, you need to add the attributes you want to show up under "Attributes to Display" and do an ISSRESET

You are not getting the same searchScope.  Your search scope is not applied.  Check the searchScope name at the right upport corner. 

you are right, it doesn't even show on the home page in search within, I don't know why.

1. Did you do an IISRESET? If no Do it, if yes

2. Check the Navigation Resource. Is it pointing to the right Search Scope?

Done several IIS resets, got the portal done and everything configured, the only thing not working is this.

I am pointing it to the search scope GUID.

~/IdentityManagement/aspx/customized/CustomizedObjects.aspx?type=Computer&searchtype=b4bf17a3-9299-425f-b0aa-3a073e25dd89

All Computers Search Scope GUID

b4bf17a3-9299-425f-b0aa-3a073e

Do you even have access to ready the search Scope objects??

And please answer this "DID YOU DO AN ISSRESET". Third time I am asking. :)

Above I answered...

Done several IIS resets, got the portal done and everything configured, the only thing not working is this.

I am checking now, I don't see why not, I modified the ALL Users search scope. with no issues.

So I added a new set "All Search Scope Object" and Gave ADMINS full control, but nothing, still the same.

In the "Computers Page" under search within the only option there is  listed is "ALL Computers Resources" I do not know why.

I do not have any search scope with this definition.

I appreciate all your help.

I am wondering if I might just have to start over and re do the whole design of Computer Objects.

Because the configuration is not correct. You are presented with the default.

I would take a shortcut.  Customize the view you are being presented with "ALL Computers Resources" instead.

Nosh,

Thanks for the info but I have tried to find the "ALL Computers Resources"

But I cannot seem to find that search scope, could it be somewhere else?

Russell,

I have not logged in to FIM for months and I am just trying to remember.  This is not a resource I have used ever, but the logic is all the same. 

You can always look for Under All Resources, - Administration - All Resources? I believe that is the path.

I found it there, I also compared it to USER resource, I found that there are no usage Keywords associated with this resource.

Maybe that is the issue.

That is ok. It just means everyone has access. Now compare the settings, Attributes (that is where your issue is)

The Bindings?

Search Scope.  Binding is on the object type. The issue you have is displaying it. Similar to your other search scope

I have tried using the system name for the attributes and the display name for the attributes.

We can view the attributes and modify them fine in the computer objects. But I just cannot display them on the search scope. Is there some access to the search scope that is required.

You have established that the data displayed, comes from a search scope called "ALL Computers Resources". You already have the access since you are seeing it.  The only thing to do is to go to that searchScope and under Results tab, add the attributes you want in Attributes field as shown on previous comment

That is the problem, there is no search scope called "ALL Computers Resources"

There is only the Resource of computers. I tried to create one with the same name, no change.

I have been searching everywhere on followed the steps provided here

Still no luck..

Well Nosh,

I appreciate all your help, after looking and deleting all sets, and search scopes and starting over, I found the issue.

I had defined the Usage Keyword for both search scope and Navigation Bar, but forgot to give read right to the search scope keyword, just had given it to the Navigation Bar Keyword Set.

I feel like a dummy.

I appreciate all your help on this.

Hi Russ,

1. Glad you got it working

2. Nothing to feel stupid for.  It is always in the details.

Russ,

It sounds like Nosh worked hard to help you out even though his answers weren't the exact thing you needed. I suggest that it is still appropriate to mark one or more of his responses as an answer indicating that they were part  of the answer. Or at least you can vote them as helpful.

David, 

You are absolutely correct, thanks for pointing it out. I hadn't even thought about marking more than one correct. I have marked Nosh's answer correct. 

Nosh, 

I want to apologize for not giving you credit sooner. You were key in helping point me in the correct direction to get this solved. I appreciate all your hard work on this. 

Thanks

Russ

Russ,

Thanks for being a good sport.
