Pretty slick, man!
Thanks Craig. Glad you like it!
WAY too timely! Thanks Dave!
Thanks, very helpful.
Hi very helpul, do you have something like that for the Reporting data base of FIM (SCSM DW)?
FIM has two databases (well three if we count the FIM Certificate Management service):
Here is a calculator in excel that you can download and use to calculate how big to make your databases.
In my experience the FIMService database size depends mostly on how many request objects are in the database.
The FIM Sync Database depends mostly on how much run history details (step object details) you generate and keep.

FIM 2010 Update Rollup 2 is now available. Download from here
Before blindly applying this update it is critical that you read the release notes, as XMA’s or ECMA’s may not run after the update. If you changed the MIISServer.exe.config file to tweak the FIM MA performance the update won’t replace your file. So you have to make some updates to it by hand. This is documented in the release notes.
There are lots of fixes, my most favorite is that they have rolled back the change I mentioned [ranted about] in a previous blog post: What the %_ is the deal with wildcards in FIM Queries in the latest hotfix?
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. Dissenting opinions politely welcomed — join the controversy! Discussion will take into account performance, ease of implementation and maintainability.
I was pleasantly surprised today to find three other books, referencing FIM Best Practices Volume 1, which because of a Lulu Sale you can get at 25% off until 12/14/2011 Coupon Code: BUYMYBOOK305 Coupon expires December 14, 2011 $50 Max Savings. Of course today only 30% off, CYBERMONDAY305.
All three have an identical blurb about FIM and reference FIM Best Practices Volume 1 as additional material.

Congrats!
This is interesting area -and product but suffers from availability of learning materials..
Like i couldn’t find practice tests at all. And im used to study with those MS presss books and their companion CD’s with practice tests.
Sure i do labs in virtual environments too but for me those practice tests give that last confidence that i need to book exam. :)
Exam 70-158: TS: Forefront Identity Manager 2010, Configuring is now live according to the MSL web site. I also received an email indicating that I passed the beta.

Ok I am not actually swearing, nor are those substitute words, rather % and _ are two characters that until hotfix rollup package (build 4.0.3594.2) could be used to perform some much needed and cool searches for sets, search scopes, groups and 3rd party client queries against FIM. Such as querying for the presence of string attributes.
I am sure what happened is that someone created a resource with an underscore in the name and then couldn’t search for it. So the fix. However it wasn’t broken. We need this functionality. Furthermore, simply enclosing the wildcard character in [] would cause it to be evaluated as a literal.
