What a good week – Insight was awarded Microsoft Desktop Partner of the Year, and I just received news of my MVP award in the Forefront Identity Management area has been renewed. The Desktop Partner of the Year is a great accomplishment by our Systems Management and Virtualization practice. This one will be added to all of the awards we won as Ensynch: As for the MVP, I am always honored.
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.
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.

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).
Can you use both declarative and non-declarative a… yekolo - Aug 4, 2013Can you use both declarative and non-declarative at the same time? Declarative for some attribute mappings and non declarative for others?
Well I delivered my session FIM 2010 R2 Showdown: Classic vs. Declarative. During lunch they changed the location. But the room was packed by 5 min after I began (guessing about 45-50 people). Many familiar faces. We had a rollicking good time. I presented how things worked with Classic and Declarative presented some findings and asked for other opinions. Boy did I receive them. My basic conclusion is that Declarative can reduce the code used and in turn improve the maintainability of the FIM implementation.
Come join me at The Experts Conference 2012 in San Diego April 29 - May2 where I will be presenting: FIM R2 Showdown — Classic vs. Declarative Speaker: David Lundell Is there room enough for both in this town? FIM 2010 R2 has two ways of accomplishing many tasks: Classic and Declarative. Attend this showdown to learn when to saddle up Classic vs. when to saddle up with Declarative Sync Rules and why.
At Tech Ed Atlanta Brjann Brekkan and Mark Wahl discussed FIM 2010 R2 in a public forum – so here is a lot of info that is now in the public forum. Mark covered the new items that will come out in R2: Web Based Password reset (no need for a domain joined computer, no need to install Password Client no need for Active X, support for Firefox)
