Hey All,
This question might sound silly but if anyone could help me it would be great.
In "Password Registration: Register your Answers section" is there any way of changing the "You must answer at least 4 questions to register" text to something else? If so, where do i change it?
Also in Email Address Verification "Enter your email address below. If you ever need..."
Thanks in advance

I've got a handful of machines that are getting a pop-up error message immediately upon login to to their workstations in reference to the FIM client software installed on the machine. The error is as follows:
"FIM Password Reset Registration
An error has occurred. Please contact your helpdesk or system administrator for assistance. Error Code: 40007"
We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client but that did not fix the issue. I've seen similar problems reference this error where the machine was external to the network and it required the FIM Portal URLs be added to the Trusted Site or Intranet Sites in IE, but this is on the internal network and on the domain. I did, however, go ahead and add the URLs anyways just to see if it might fix the problem regardless. It did not. If the user clicks on the link at the login screen (forgot your password) then they will also immediately get this error message and will be unable to go any further through the reset process.
Any ideas on something I could check to fix this?
The client in question is running Windows 7 Pro 32bit, IE 8, FIM client version 4.1.3461.0
There are only a handful of machines that have this problem. There are hundreds more that are not showing this problem with the same configurations.
What is the best practice as far as publishing the FIM Password Portal to the internet? How about the FIM Portal for groups/users management? We have been using UAG but it is not supported in our new data center and TMG is going to be discontinued.
In the Export Precedence section of About Attribute Flow Precedence, the reason for my Skipped: not precedent is clearly described. However, I am still at a loss as to how to make FIM do what I want. How might I set up FIM to accommodate the following situation?
An HR system contributes employees to the metaverse, while contractors are manually entered into the FIM Portal. In the MV, the employeeType attribute needs to be populated. employeeType also needs to flow back to the FIM Portal for both contractors and employees, so MPRs/Sets/Workflows can be applied.
The HR sync rule contributes "Employee", while the FIM Portal contributes "Contractor". The MV has to flow back to the FIM Portal to update employees. If HR is precedent, "Contractor" never flows to the MV. If the Portal is precedent, "Employee" flows from HR to the MV to the Portal at projection, but then the Portal becomes precedent and a hired contractor cannot be updated when HR joins later.
It seems like there is no solution to this. I hope I am somehow misunderstanding. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Dears,
I was wondering if there are any documents published regarding the BHOLD Reporting module.
Another question, I was trying to generate a report for logging purposes that enables you to view all FIM approval requests with all the relevant data like : Creator display name, Approver display name,..etc
I can only find the Requestor ID and the Approver ID. Can I somehow join the requestor ID with some other table to provide the Requestor display name?
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Omar

Hey All,
I have a question regarding FIM, i have 2 disconnected forests with no trust in between. I have setup FIM and was able to sync users from Domain A to FIM and from FIM to Domain A. My question is how do i go about Syncing from Domain A to Domain B ?
I have created a Management Agent for Domain B and scoped the connector (Yes i can reach it also and view the containers) but i need more information on how to go about Sync of users from Domain A to Domain B. My understanding is it has to go from Domain A --> FIM -- > Domain B .. Am i correct ?

Hi ALL,
I registered a user in password registeration portal.
But when i try to reset password following error occurs .
The Event Viewer Error Log is :
The error page was The FIM MA LOG IS : Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service: |
I am able to add new user through FIM and sync it with Active directory. I am flowing 0->pwdlastset so that user shall be prompted for changing the password
My issue is why FIM portal is not asking for changing the password.
Hello All,
Not sure what I am missing here, not able to run the 'FIMAutomation' on a FIM 2010 machine.
The below is the error message.
Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'FIMAutomation' is not installed on this machine.
Please let me know, where I have to look further to run the snap in successfully.
Thanks and Regards,

Hey Everybody,
I was wondering if anybody has dealt with something like this in the past. Basically the idea is to allow certain people access to manage specific groups. For example lets say I want Jane Doe to be able to manage the "Intern" security group to allow her to be able add and remove users. Which rights does she need in FIM? We currently have several groups in FIM but I only want Jane Doe to be able to see the groups which have her listed as Owner.
Ideally Jane would not be able to create any new groups and only manage groups that have her listed as owner.
Hi,
I'm facing an odd issue in a production environnement :
My ECMA agent imports two users with "multisingle mismatch errors" (due to an incorrect generation of a connected avp file).
In the same avp file I have new (correct) users to add, multiple (correct) updates and multiple deletion.
The problem is :
the users to be deleted are not deleted in my CS nor "detected" as to be deleted,
whereas the users to add and to update are applied in my CS.
When I correct the two "multisingle mismatch" users in my avp file, the users to be deletedare processed in my CS.
Is there any workaround to force FIM Sync service apply the deletion even if an error occured ?
Any registry key or whatever?
Thanks for your help.
Hello everyone
I have an issue and I still haven't been able to get to the bottom of it.
We use FIM 2010 R2
All of the older users are able to access the portal. However, newer users, although they were created through FIM are not able to access the portal. a You do not have permission to access this site error occurs.
I have looked at the provisioning tab of older users and compared it with the provisioning tab of the newer users and found that older users which are able to access the portal have 2 detected rules that apply. The rules are something like DRE for AD Active CON accounts Sync and DRE for AD Active FTE Accounts Sync
I'm pretty sure that the issue has to be related in some way with this. The newer users don't have these rules detected.
Is there any way that they can be applied so that newer users would be able to access the portal?
In FIM's sharepoint site all authenticated users have read access, so there's not a permissions problem.
I have no ideea why older users are able to log on to the portal and newer ones not...
I am in a process of implementing FIM.
The setup will include Password Reset, User on-boarding and off boarding.
While going through the guides, it is stated to create a new OU for password reset users. I was just curious if my AD configuration holds multiple OUs, is possible to accommodate all the OUs therein? Or we specifically need a single OU to enable password reset?
Regards,
Abhinav
Hello,
I still have a challenge with FIM Installation, i have two servers running Server 2008 R2 SP1,SERVER1 running SCSM 2012 and SQL 2008 R2 and FIMSERVER running Sharepoint 2010 Foundation and i've Installed all FIM components (Sync Service, FIM portal, FIM Reporting, FIM password Registration, FIM Password Reset). I have created two records in the DNS PasswordResetRegistration and PasswordReset to point to FIMSERVER IP. My problem is once the installtion is complete i cant seem to locate the Main FIMPortal web page from IIS, do i need to specify a different port since default port 80 is taken by sharepoint?
When i login to http://passwordresetregistration.test.com:8080/default.aspx i get the error below
Server time: 7:26:48 PM
where could i have gone wrong? please see the snapshots below

hours of your efforts and it is greatly appreciated!" Jinchun Chen: "Awesome. All-In-One." Richard Mueller: "A great collection of references." |
| Ronen Ariely | Crazy TSQL Queries play time | Jinchun Chen: "Really good." Samuel Lester: "As a long time software tester, this article brings me joy! :) Great job breaking the mold and adding content that gives the reader something they likely have never thought about. After reading this, I immediately started thinking of other areas where we could expand this. These are all outstanding learning exercises and would make for great interview questions as you mentioned. I still consider Pinal Dave's SQL Server Interview Q & A as the best around, but I could really see a section added where you tackle problems like these which require deeper knowledge to solve. " Richard Mueller: "An interesting and educational collection of snippets." |
| Saeid Hasani | All-at-Once Operations in T-SQL | Richard Mueller: "Very interesting and informative in an attractive article." Samuel Lester: "Great article! Ask 10 C#/.NET coders this question and see how many get it correct. :) Very strong points in the Silent Death section regarding execution order based on the estimated execution plan. We see this problem trip up many people in the MSDN forum questions and could possibly be a blog/wiki article on its own. " |

| Visual C# Technical Guru - October 2013 |
| Jaliya Udagedara | Filter a DataTable based on a Collection | NN: "Very nice and simple solution and easy to understand." CW: "This is a good example on how to use Linq in a creative way. This makes code that otherwise would be long and arduous elegant!" Ed Price: "Excellent explanations!" |
| Karl Mitschke | Clear System Center End Point Protection exclusions without SCCM | Ed Price: "Very thorough. Great Output section!" NN: "Very useful program. May use some comments in the code" CW: "This article does show something useful (messing with the registry through c#) but is titled in such a way I don't think I would think this article would be useful for that. Maybe more useful would be a more general article about this? That being said, this seems to address an issue in endpoint protection where it doesn't properly remove old things." |
| Mohammad Nizamuddin | Microsoft.NET: SMTP Server Relay setting and sending email using C# code | Ed Price: "Good directions and easy to follow!" CW: "This article accurately demonstrates how one might send an email from c#. This functionality could be useful for a number of applications I do believe the article could be improved by adding a summary/abstract for waht the articl contains. Just jumping straight into configureing an smtp server didn't do it for me." NN: "Nice and simple article with clear instructions" |
| Windows Phone and Store Apps Technical Guru - October 2013 |
| mcosmin | How to transfer files between a Windows Store app and any Windows Phone app | Prashant Phadke: "Good example that shows the compatiblity. The initial topic regarding what is TCP is way too much and perhaps out of scope. Maybe a better approach would be to include links to the TCP RFC at the bottom.
Including any additional links is also helpful" Ed Price: "Fantastic explanations! Could benefit from section headers and a TOC." RC: "Fantastic stuff! A great addition would be demonstrating the PeerFinder to make the connection without having to enter the hostname" |
| Thomas Claudius Huber | Using the RenderTargetBitmap in Windows Store Apps with XAML and C# | Prashant Phadke: "Very nicely written." Ed Price: "Great formatting, and the images help tell the story!" RC: "Great explanation of one of my favourite new features in Windows 8.1!" |
| fabian.henzler.serwiz.net | Testable navigation with MVVM through behaviors on Windows Phone 8 | Prashant Phadke: "Step 4 doesn't have DetailsPage.xaml and DetailsViewModel.cs screenshot. The displayed screenshot is for Step 2. The article ends abruptly, maybe add a closing line and add some helpful links if applicable." Ed Price: "Clear instructions with complementing code snippets and screenshots. Could also benefit from section headers and a TOC." RC: "If I wasn’t already familiar with behaviors I'd be completely lost. I'd like to see it call out and explain the behavior code up top before going into the general code listing." |
| Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Technical Guru - October 2013 |
| Magnus (MM8) | WPF: Displaying and Editing Many-to-Many Relational Data in a DataGrid | Ed Price: "Very well written and well formatted with a TOC, headers, an image, and code snippets. " Peter Laker: "Love this piece of work from growing legend Magnus " |
| Gaurav Khanna | Nested menuitem in WPF ToolBar | Peter Laker: "Another heavy weight contributor, another sensational piece" Ed Price: "Great formatting. Would benefit from breaking up the code more and more explanations. Great topic! " |

| Forefront Identity Manager Technical Guru - October 2013 |

| Ike Ugochuku | FIM 2010 R2: WAAD Connector - Managing the SourceAnchor field in a Multi-Forest Exchange organization | Ed Price: "Great detail and explanations!" PG: "Nice article, but would like to see the procedure to be elaborated just a bit more. Some additional screen shots would be nice. And a very short tech description what is missing to solve the requirements." |
| SQL Server Database Engine Technical Guru - October 2013 |
| Uwe Ricken | Delete huge amount of data from a relation | NN: "Very interesting article with great code" Samuel Lester: "Incredible explanation and depth to a question we're seeing more and more often due to data size. Great comparison of different techniques along with why the standard "switch to simple mode" solution won't work in most cases where customers are hitting these bounds." Ed Price: "Amazing formatting and detail!" Jinchun Chen: "Good practice." DRC: "Feedback: • This article is provides a very good information about the topic which is being discussed. • It also provided a sample code which can be tested on SQL instance with sample expected output. • This also talks about other alternate solution and scenarios to which this article is applicable. Suggestions: • Avoid line number in the sample code which needs to be edited in order to execute. • High light the key word which is discussed, also highlight the same in the code sample. Holding an "EXCLUSIVE LOCK (WITH TABLOCK)" on the target table can use all benefits of BULK LOGGED operations. INSERT INTO dbo.bigtable WITH (TABLOCK) (Id, c1, c2, c3) " |
| Shanky_621 | What does 'Log Truncation' counter value signifies in DMV sys.dm_os_performance _counters | DRC: "--The article seem to be incomplete --Doesnt include all the points discussed --Don't use the short forms like : BOL MS Perfmon VLF's AFAIT -- Since the code is wrtten with reference to Adventure works database,
include the location to download the adventureworks so that the users could downloadthis." NN: "Good article but a bit hard to understand" Samuel Lester: "Great investigative work on this and for digging so deep into it, I learned a lot from your write-up. I emailed a few folks on the Engine team to see if I can find someone who's worked directly on this code. " Ed Price: "I love the "Suggested Reading" section!" |
| Windows Server Technical Guru - October 2013 |
| Mr X | Record Logon / Logoff Activities on Domain Servers and Workstations Using Group Policy | GL: "Simple yet effective. It would be interesting to add additional parameters that can be recorded in the logon and logoff scripts" Richard Mueller: "Details a simple but effective way to track network usage." JM: "This is a great article, good work." JH: "useful" |
| Mr X | Management of SIDs in Active Directory | Richard Mueller: "An excellent summary of important information in an attractive article." GL: "Great topic. This would be very useful if it included a script to detect duplicate SIDs. The "import-module activedirectory" command listed does not work unless the module is installed." JM: "This is a very good article, nice work." |
| Mr X | Central Management of DNS configuration compliance and updates | GL: "Interesting integration of SCCM compliance with a migration scenario, has several applications." JH: "great article with good scripts to automate a time-consuming task of updating DNS settings" JM: "This is an excellent article." Richard Mueller: "Great to have scripts for this. Could add error logging." |
