Some FIM really REALLY annoys me, mostly when I come up against odd and unexpected limitations, but then I write a quick little PowerShell script to fix something or other and remember that this is really one of the best differentiators of the product. This quick fix came about because I realised that the group filters did not consistently use EmployeeStatus as a criterion, and with hundreds and hundreds of groups, there’s no way they could have been fixed manually.<\/p>\n
