It’s very good post! Congratulations! I really enjoyed to reading your blog. Thanks for share all this information. I’m looking forward your next post
A while back I needed to set up Property Sets in AD LDS for granting of permissions to many of the attributes on the person object all at once, as I reviewed the Technet documentation on AD Property Sets I realized that it doesn’t tell you what object type property sets are, nor does it tell you how to create a property set, nor does it tell you how to assign an attribute to a property set. The MSDN documentation on Property Sets lets you see which attributes where included in which property sets in the different versions of AD, and it hints that property sets are part of Control Access Rights. Finally there is some more MSDN documentation on Control Access Rights that starts to spell it out:

not sure if anyone is still looking at this but i have a question that seems simple but its puzzling me!
I am trying to follow the instructions to convert a GUID into a string. I have done this:
Which you can do with this one line of PowerShell script
Suppose I generate a GUID of 8c4ac332-975f-4717-ad7b-ba4a4e968fff by running the following PowerShell Command line
[system.guid]::newguid()
Don’t worry if your GUID is different from mine; it should be! If it isn’t let me know because I think I’ll partner with you for the lottery (aka a tax on the mathematically impaired).
Some attributes (like the attributeSecurityGUID) when edited through ADSI Edit require you to convert the GUID to octet string (for little endian systems – Intel processors are little endian): 32c34a8c5f971747ad7bba4a4e968fff
I was pleasantly surprised today to find three other books, referencing FIM Best Practices Volume 1, which because of a Lulu Sale you can get at 25% off until 12/14/2011 Coupon Code: BUYMYBOOK305 Coupon expires December 14, 2011 $50 Max Savings. Of course today only 30% off, CYBERMONDAY305.
All three have an identical blurb about FIM and reference FIM Best Practices Volume 1 as additional material.

Congrats!
This is interesting area -and product but suffers from availability of learning materials..
Like i couldn’t find practice tests at all. And im used to study with those MS presss books and their companion CD’s with practice tests.
Sure i do labs in virtual environments too but for me those practice tests give that last confidence that i need to book exam. :)
Exam 70-158: TS: Forefront Identity Manager 2010, Configuring is now live according to the MSL web site. I also received an email indicating that I passed the beta.

Ok I am not actually swearing, nor are those substitute words, rather % and _ are two characters that until hotfix rollup package (build 4.0.3594.2) could be used to perform some much needed and cool searches for sets, search scopes, groups and 3rd party client queries against FIM. Such as querying for the presence of string attributes.
I am sure what happened is that someone created a resource with an underscore in the name and then couldn’t search for it. So the fix. However it wasn’t broken. We need this functionality. Furthermore, simply enclosing the wildcard character in [] would cause it to be evaluated as a literal.

David - just came across your post. Others reading it now may wish to follow this thread on the FIM Forum where the issue continues to be discussed at length.
Cheers
Bob

10 years on David and your post came in handy just now - learned something new about the [_] thing in xpath statements :) - kudos - just the ticket!
My xpath: “/*[starts-with(DisplayName,’[_]’)]”
Microsoft has released a new hotfix (kb 2520954) at the end of October with some key fixes in it as well as one item that I will blog about next that prevents me from loading this on most implementations, until it is addressed.

Workflow Engine (FIM Service)
Assume that you perform an operation that accesses the SQL database when the Microsoft SQL Server connection pooling feature is enabled in the FIM server. For example, you run a query or a request. If the operation times out for any reason, a future operation on the same thread may fail until that thread is removed from the SQL connection pool. An error message that resembles the following is displayed in the FIM Service Application event log, in the RequestStatusDetails property for a request, or in the WorkflowStatusDetails property of a workflow instance: Cannot enlist in the transaction because a local transaction is in progress on the connection.
Additionally, the time stamp is the same as the time when the operation fails.
