Adventures in identity management

I’ve been wanting to explore the possibilities of Craig Martin’s FIM PowerShell Workflow Activity for a while, and now my lab is out of it’s TechEd bubble-wrap I can get back to play. In this post a couple of extra steps I had to take to get it working on R2. I’ll post sample scripts…

Was it worth it? Not sure yet!) and here’s my write-up. You should also refer to the following documents…
