MIM 2016 is now available MIM – Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 builds on and replaces Microsoft’s Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2. On Microsoft’s site they include an introductory (2 min) video about Hybrid Identity but don’t mistake that for the MIM UI. So has anything been removed? No. While the list of deprecated features are still deprecated none of them have been removed from this new version. So what’s new?
Thanks Scott. David Lundell - Jul 3, 2015Thanks Scott.
I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional for a 9th time. I started off as an MIIS MVP (even though ILM had been released 4 months previous). Then I became an ILM MVP in 2008, then in 2010 it was FIM MVP (or was that 2011). Now with FIM changing to MIM and in an effort to reduce the administrative paperwork the Microsoft MVP team has every time MMS/MIIS/ILM/FIM/MIM changes names all FIM MVPs have become DS (Directory Services) MVPs.
At the 2015 Identity Summit Scott McNeely declared “Big data without Identity is not actionable” Let’s discuss. Pulling from Information Week and IBM the Top 6 use cases of Big Data are: 1. Big Data Exploration 2. 360 degree view of customer 3. Information Security and Intelligence 4. Operation Analysis of data from Internet of Things 5. Data warehouse Augmentation/Optimization 6. Big Data Efficiency play (break down silos) Big Data use case
Hi, good job! Some info was lost during conversion… hierbaluisa - Mar 1, 2019Hi, good job! Some info was lost during conversion from Visio to PDF. Is it possible to get it complete? Perhaps rotating image or changing scale. Thanks!
Years ago Brad Turner and I created a Flow Chart of FIM data flow with Screenshots and Code snippets. Some of the code examples are funny and it still says ILM rather than FIM. It also doesn’t include filter based out bound filter-based sync rules that came with R2. Bearing those things in mind it still provides a good bit of value. Someday I will update it with the latest – until then enjoy.
With the latest hotfix MSFT now supports running PCNS on Windows Server 2012 R2. FIM still should not be installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 (2012 yes, 2008 R2 yes, 2008 yes). Only PCNS can be installed on Windows Server 2012 R2. The hotfix article has a slight error indicating that it is ok to install FIM Sync Service on 2012 R2 if you have installed the hotfix PCNS on 2012 R2 – not true (the article should get corrected soon).
Over the weekend I took one of my children to see the new animated film Home starring Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez. A group of technically superior but very cowardly aliens, called the Boov flee from their implacable enemy, the Gorgs, and decide to take over Earth, relocating all of the primitive natives (us) to Australia. Aside from the political commentary of the entire human race being placed in a reservation, the thing that most struck me was how one of the near disasters could have been averted through solid Identity Management Systems.
Thanks for the awesome post and the specifications… John Smith - Jun 4, 2015Thanks for the awesome post and the specifications. AOC Portable Monitor Hi thanlks for a great review. I have bought same AOC monitor but can not get it to work from the USB port on the SP3? It works OK off the MS hub but just flashes with the USB port on the actual SP3 itself. Did you have to install the DisplayLink software and if so which version?
As a road warrior, often in different settings, I am interested in a 2nd, portable monitor for my Surface Pro 3. So here was my thought process. I tried to use TwoMonUSB to make my iPad the second monitor. At first it worked quite well. Great idea, a backup device with some apps I don’t have on the surface and I can use it as a second screen. But then my Surface Pro 3 was rebooting randomly during idle times or the screen wouldn’t light up after an idle timeout and then I would have to hard boot it.
