Join Us for an Informative Webcast on the Value of IDA in the Cloud
- Part 2 in a Series of Webcasts from Microsoft FIM MVP David Lundell -

Identity Management is a critical component to realizing the true value of the Cloud.

Solutions from Microsoft including Forefront Identity Manager (FIM), Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), and Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (Forefront UAG) allow you to get the most out of your cloud applications (such as Office 365, BPOS, and other Software a Service (SaaS) solutions); while enabling a seamless transition in managing the identities of your users.

FIM Training back—on May 23-26 in Phoenix

February 14, 2011

Last week I taught a group of students 50382A Implementing Forefront Identity Manager 2010, and referenced FIM Best Practices Volume 1 to supplement. It was a great bunch, full of humor. We even had one gentleman fly all the way from Australia to attend my class. I felt quite honored.

Well due to popular demand we are going to run it again May 23-May 26 (M-Th) once more in downtown Phoenix.

Register by emailing FIMTraining@Ensynch.com, providing your contact info, which class and date you want to attend. You will then be contacted to complete the registration. The cost of the course is $1895 USD

TEC 2010 Europe – Sweet German Chocolate!

October 18, 2010

Overall TEC 2010 Europe in Dusseldorf Germany was pretty cool. I enjoyed the speakers reception on Sunday night and got to meet some folks from the SharePoint side some of whom are even interested in FIM and one of them bought my book!

For the first time I was able to bring my wife along to TEC! We enjoyed some good time in Dusseldorf including seeing Schloss (Palace) Benrather.

Monday we started off with a keynote from Uday Hegde and Mark Wahl on the future of Directory and Identity Technologies. It was mostly an overview and demo of the various MSFT Identity technologies, FIM, RMS, ADFS etc. I did enjoy Mark’s well prepared video demo. He clearly had practiced the timing quite well, explaining as the mouse moved across the screen carrying out his demo.

Details of Errata

Here is what the text on page 183 should say (the italicized items are the new or changed bits of text)

Unattended Install of the FIM Client

This is the component that you will perhaps most desperately see the need for unattended install.

Use the following table to help you plan your install as well as to understand the relationship between the UI parameters, the Unattended parameters and where these items are persisted. These items can also be controlled through Group Policy templates that are shipped with the product.

Keith Crosby - Sep 3, 2010

Could you post a complete listing of the corrections? In particular, the changes around the unattended client install. BTW, great job on Volume 1. I’m, looking forward to Volume 2 (and an eBook version would be great as well).

I love volume 1! Is it too soon to start asking about volume 2 :-)
