Thanks carol,
After googling found your post, we are implementing the code and we will see how things goes.

You can use all your ILM 2007 code with FIM 2010, which will include GALsync.

For home folders see this other post on my blog: http://www.wapshere.com/missmiis/creating-user-home-directories-windows-version

Hi Carol,
thanks for helping me last time, I am back again with 2 questions:
- If I want to use glasync in FIM 2010, are there any guide or shall I Configure it the way we did in ILM 2007.
- I have asked on the forums for provisioning a shared folder for the user, How we can do that in ILM, do you have any clues, I am thinking about used extension rule (don’t know if it will be a metaverse or MA –can you explain for me the difference– that will be executed after the export is completed) do you have any guidelines.

Hi Svendi. I replied to you on the forum as well and it’s probably better to keep the discussion all in one place, plus there are may more helpful people there.

Hi,

Since I’m newbie with this product (RC1), would it be possible to explain to me step-by-step how to setup e.g. mailDatabase extended attribute. I’d really like to enable exchange 2007 provisioning to FIM RC1 and I can’t find any reasonable instructions how to build custom attributes so they are available when I’m creating New Attribute Flow.

I’ve been managed to create attributes and bind them, but those attributes are not available.

Exactly like that, though you don’t use the quotes when you enter the string – which I’m sure you’ve figured out.

Are you certain it is that rule that is causing the error? What other rules have you got? One way to get started is to make a sync rule that doesn’t do any provisioning and add one rule at a time. Then when that is working properly tick the “Create in connected system” option and choose your Initial atttributes. DN has to be an initial attribute, but userPrincipalName doesn’t.

These unextected errors are a complete pain – I hope RC1 will be better.

How did you provision the userPrincipalName with the rule above? I keep getting an unexpected error when I try to import and synchronize an outbound synchronization rule comparable to what you have above with the following outbound attribute flow:

accountName+ “@mydomain.local”=userPrincipalName

Hi Anu,

this is not actually something I’ve done, but whatever the answer is, it is likely to be the same as for ILM 2007. I am guessing you would need a seperate MA to provision the Exch 2003 users, but a normal AD MA should be fine – just don’t tick the Exch 2007 support.

As long as you can make two distinct sets that differentiate between the two types of users you should be ok. Good luck.

Carol,
I have ILM “2″ RC and out-of-the-box AD User and Exchange 2007 provisioning work fine. Sometime I have new users whose mailbox must be created on Exchange 2003. With the existing set up, the AD User account still gets created but mailbox creation (of course) fails.

How should I proceed to add mailbox to these newly created AD Users who’re missing Exchange 2003 mailboxes? Do I need an extensible MA to incorporate your “Adding Exchange 2003 Mailboxes to Existing Accounts”? Please advise.

Thanks.
Anu
