Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>Of course we get a lot more with FIM, and it&#8217;s a generalised platform, as opposed to being targeted specifically at Exchange-enabled objects. Also one can make the argument that it&#8217;s more secure to make modfications outside of AD and then sync them across in a controlled way, rather than giving people access directly into AD. And finally FIM gives us password reset&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But considering the expected cost of FIM CALs, how many IT decision makers will look at FIM and decide it doesn&#8217;t give them enough over what they&#8217;re going to be getting anyway with Exchange 2010?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been getting myself up to speed on the new feaures of Exchange 2010, and some of them look a little familiar&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[43,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exchange-2010","category-fim-2010"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pkp1o-au","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":654,"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650\/revisions\/654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
