SO, where (or when !?) can we download that hotfix ?
So, where (or when !?) can we download that hotfix !?
On Aug 24th Microsoft released a new version of PCNS. Version number 4.1.2515.0.
No release notes are provided with the download. However, this version number matches the version number of the latest FIM R2 hotfix rollup http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2734159 and it does tell us what is fixed:
Assume that you run Password Change Notification Service (PCNS) setup together with the SCHEMAUPDATE=TRUE option and the schema is updated successfully. In this situation, an error message is displayed at the end of the setup process incorrectly.
After this update is installed, the Setup program does not display the error message when the schema update is successful.
In Part 1 of How to import the Domain attribute into the FIM Portal I provided you the simple technique for the single domain forest, and the technique that works although is a bit unwieldy – that of looking at the first 41 characters of the object’s SID and using a lookup table through nested IIF statements and this doesn’t .
What if there was a simpler way?
What about using the Domain Component option in the attribute flow?
If you have a single domain forest then you should use a constant flow in your sync rule or advanced attribute flow. If you have a multi-domain forest, then using a constant in the advanced attribute flow won’t work.
You could create multiple inbound sync rules one for each domain with scoping filters and then use a constant. However, this seems like a waste.
You could also follow the guidance provided in article originated by my friend Markus Vilcinskas and maintained by the community http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/648.how-do-i-synchronize-users-from-active-directory-domain-services-to-fim.aspx

Congratulations on your renewal David!
Congratulations!!
Way to go man!
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. I truly enjoy trying to enhance the FIM community. This marks the 6th time I have received the award (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012). There are so many cool experiences I get to have with the the other FIM MVPs, I treasure them.
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.

Thanks David for a great overview of what was discussed at TEC this year. 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.
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. Tons of other attractions right nearby.
