Pending Exports reporting script

I’ve just posted an updated version of my PendingExports.ps1 script here. The script parses the pending exports XML file produced by csexport.exe and produces single- and multi-value CSV files that you can import into Excel (split on the semi-colon). I’ve been tinkering with this script for years. This one now includes all current attribute values…

Link to the SSPR Unlock page from the Edit User RCDC

The “Unlock User” page in the FIM/MIM Portal is entirely seperate from the main User management page – which is not especially user-friendly. This post shows a way you can add a personalised link to the User Edit page which, when clicked, takes the operator straight to the correct User Unlock page.

SQL MA Failed to retrieve the schema

I have, however, just been converting something I’ve done before to all-MIMWAL workflows, in preparation for re-using the concepts on a new project. This is a pretty…

Tracking down a duplicate ObjectSid

Most people who work with FIM will be familiar with the “Value Violates Uniquess” errors when you try to export an object through the FIM MA that conflicts with an existing object on an attribute that has enforced uniqueness in the FIM Service. If the duplicate is on a string attribute like AccountName then it’s…

Data Quality Script for the FIM Service

Today I presented a session called “all about data” at the FIM Team User Group meeting. One of the goodies I shared was my Data Quality script. The point of this script is to run against the FIM Service on a regular basis and look for anomalies that can be easily fixed – for example…

New Documentation Script versions

I’ve shared the new version of the documentation scripts here: https://unifysolutions.jira.com/wiki/display/FIMTEAMCOM/Automatic+Word+Documentation The best new feature is in Document_SyncConfig.ps1 which now includes an end-to-end attribute flow map based around Metaverse object/attribute – so showing all IAFs and EAFs going via each Metaverse attribute.
