Overview:
This four-day instructor-led course equips participants already acquainted with Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 (ILM) with the additional knowledge and skills they need to plan for a Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 (FIM) deployment.
Target Audience:
This course is intended for Systems Engineers, Developers, or Architects who need to gain a good understanding of how Forefront Identity Manager 2010 can be applied to manage identity information across a number of directories or databases.
Pre-requisites:
Before attending this course, students must have:
Good working knowledge of ILM 2007 or Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 (MIIS) (equivalent to having attended Microsoft Learning Course 2731A: Deploying and Managing Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003, and then being involved in an implementation).
A sound understanding of the purpose and workings of Active Directory.
A sound understanding of the purpose and workings of Microsoft Exchange Server.
A sound understanding of the purpose and workings of Microsoft SQL Server.

Configure synchronization rules to manage Active Directory.
Module 5: Synchronizing Objects Originating in Other Systems
In this module synchronization is further explored, including the various scenarios in which FIM can be used; sources that are authoritative for objects, such as HR Feeds; the inclusion of sources that are not authoritative for objects, such as telephone systems; data discovery issues such as joining and data cleansing; and disaster recovery issues.
