Default GalSync Connector Filter

September 7, 2010

Using FIM 2010 RTM Update 1: The default GalSync Connector Filter is to filter out user objects that are hidden from the addressbook, OR missing the legacyExchangeDN, OR missing both the msExchangeHomeServerName and targetAddress are missing, OR proxyAddresses are missing, OR if it is a Mailbox Plan, Arbitration Mailbox, or Discovery Mailbox. Consequently, this answers the question are mail-enabled users filtered out by default? No they are not, as a mail-enabled user will have the target address populated, and none of the other rules will filter it out.

I just found a very intriguing blog post from Thomas Vuylsteke, about a potential danger when moving your FIM Service Database from SQL Server to another: The case of the new attributes that didn’t want to be found In short there is the potential that when you move the database that it might arrive on the new server with the Full Text Indexing disabled. The way Thomas tumbled to the problem was that he couldn’t search for a new attribute.

Book update

August 20, 2010

Early last week I sent the book out for review. I have been digesting the excellent feedback I have gotten (thanks to Peter Geelen, Paul Loonen, Andreas Kjellman, and Glenn Zuckerman). Apparently, they liked Brad’s architecture diagrams more than mine (so do I) so I need to update the other architecture diagrams to be like his. They really do look neater. Check out this one on FIM multi-tier with an admin partition:
