Henrik Nilsson - May 4, 2012
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.
I didn’t even know that Identity and Access Management (IAM) workers had a union!
Of course, imagine my disappointment to learn that it is International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union.

Can 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.
I recently received a mailer for YouFit Health Clubs, offering me “$1 down, $10 month with no commitment” for a club they opened near my house (limited to the first 125 to sign up).
Sounds good, but following the principle of caveat emptor (buyer beware), I always read the fine print. According to the “Billing for Monthly Dues” agreement you may “discontinue your Month-to-Month membership you may do so at any time with a payment of a twenty-five (25) dollar processing fee.”
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?
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.
