Defining FIM/ILM/MIIS Best Practices
The FIM/ILM Best Practices website provides information about Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (used to be Microsft Identity Lifecycle
Manager [ILM]). Microsoft FIM is the new name for ILM which is the new name for the former [MIIS] Microsoft Identity Integration
Server 2003 Service Pack 2 with the Certificate Lifecycle Manager.
FIM is an exciting new release of Microsoft's Identity Lifecycle Manager product. With FIM we can help organizations reduce risk, save money and improve compliance, by automating the creation of user accounts
Further information about FIM, ILM and MIIS can be found at
Microsoft IDA.

Fuzzy Transforms for MIIS Delayed Join Resolution

When dirty data in existing systems creates a join nightmare, escape by unleashing the power of Fuzzy Transformations in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. During the Data Discovery process is it quite common to encounter problems with joining identities from various systems together. HR has an Employeeid field, but has this been entered elsewhere? If so has it been accurately entered? If not we will match on names, but those are even more subject to error and duplicates. Learn how to make use of SQL Server 2005 Integration Services: Fuzzy Lookups and Fuzzy Grouping transformations to solve many of your unmatched and duplicate match problems encountered during joining.

Are your synchronization runs taking too long? Does it take a while to load up Identity Manager because of run history? When you clear run history, does your transaction log get so big that your DBA starts screaming at you that the log is full or that the disk is out of space? Is your Run History clogging up your database? Learn how to Automate Clearing the Run History without filling up the transaction log – even if you haven’t cleared it in a while. Learn the best practices of backing up your MIIS database and maintaining your indexes and statistics. Harness the power and ease of SQL Server Agent jobs to automate your maintenance, schedule your run profiles and coordinate the execution of your DTS packages and other objects.
