FIM 2010 R2 released today to MSDN
Look what just turned up on the MSDN list of downloads: Along with FIM 2010 R2 it looks like the BHOLD Suite is available too! Although you can see that it appears to be a separate download. I don’t know when the retail version will be available. http://feeds.feedburner.com/IdentityLifecycleManagerilmBestPractices

I wish I could have attended but way too much work right now but I hope I’ll be able to attend TEC Europe this year (if there’s gonna be any) and US next year. Great to meet you David - thanks for the compliment ;) … I’m one of those who’s been using your SQL scripts for years, and it was great to rub shoulders with so many bright people in this relatively small niche of ours.
TEC 2012 Summary
Wow TEC 2012 is already over and I am already back home. What a week! The venue was great. San Diego is always a great place to be, cool yet not too cold. Right on the bay. Great hotel. The Marriot Marquis and Marinas has an awesome pool – went for a great swim on Monday night. Tuesday morning I really enjoyed a jog on the Boardwalk. I ran up to the USS Midway.

RCDC Replacement
FIM User Interface Implementation: Replace the rigid RCDC with a customizable UI Speaker: Eihab Isaac Eihab delivered a very well-reasoned presentation on the pros and cons of replacing some of the forms, especially the create person (user) form. Excellent demo showing creating multiple requests for creating the user as well as requests for additional attributes, and application access. Great session. http://feeds.feedburner.com/IdentityLifecycleManagerilmBestPractices

FIM Reporting Craig Martin style
Craig’s session is on how to get data out from the FIM Service and FIM Sync with PowerShell and displaying it with SSRS, which he has dubbed Scissors! Ok Craig we get it! You have even persuaded me that PowerShell is important! I have started writing scripts. SQL Server of course is still important. Key is to hook up a pipeline from PowerShell to pass into his custom SSRS PowerShell Data Processing Extension (DPE).
Migrating from ILM to FIM
Carol Wapshere delivered an excellent session yesterday at TEC 2012 on the thought process for migrating from MIIS/ILM to FIM. I loved the incisive logic to focus on the main issue being solved: getting the customer onto supported software (getting the MIIS database off SQL 2000, getting off MIIS/ILM). Avoid the temptation to try and fix everything else at the same time. She had a great list of gotchas. Even more impressive were her discovery scripts designed to analyze the existing implementations and her rubric for estimating the work.
