Dear All,

I am in new in this forum and infact this is my very first access to this forum. I ahve been working on Forefront Identity Manager 2010 and made some progress to provision users to and from AD, FIM and SQL as well as Password Registration and Reset working fine. However I am unable to create users home folder for users being provisioned in AD from FIM. I have been viewing the blog and solution given by experts on this forum but unable to get any success. I would be grateful to you if you can tell me how to create User Home folder, either from PowerShell Activity or MA. I am at the begining so your detailed text would be apprec

Carol Wapshere wrote a blog entry about doing this the old-fashioned way in ILM using an MA. Another way was calling a batch file via a post-processing MA, but I think the simplest way now is using a FIM workflow to call a powershell script to create the file.

Provision a user normally using an AD MA, then write back the objectSID to the MV and out to the portal to confirm the user exists in AD. At this point trigger entry to a set that in turn calls an Action workflow that has the Powershell activity. Pass the user details as parameters to the powershell script and away you go.

I'm pretty sure there are blog posts and Wiki entries around that detail all the above steps - Google (or Bing) is your friend here.

Dave gave you nice alternatives. I want to add just one more. You can use Sren Granfeldt's Powershell MA.

Here is how to use it http://blog.goverco.com/p/powershell-management-agent.html

Here are a couple of home folder sample projects

Nice thing about using a MA as oppose to a workflow is that you could build in import verification / retries - which is a little harder to do with workflows that only triggers once, normally...
