Add a filter to all Group criteria
Posted on
Some FIM really REALLY annoys me, mostly when I come up against odd and unexpected limitations, but then I write a quick little PowerShell script to fix something or other and remember that this is really one of the best differentiators of the product. This quick fix came about because I realised that the group…
Attribute not appearing in Set or Advanced search filter
Posted on
I noticed that I couldn’t use a particular attribute in search or set filters. While this can be caused by filter validation I always disable those MPRs (“General workflow: Filter attribute validation for administrator” and “General workflow: Filter attribute validation for non-administrators”) so that never causes me a problem. In this case it turned out…

Comparing two FIM Sync Services
Posted on
I’ve been working a lot on config migrations lately – specifically migrating FIM configuration from dev to test to prod. I wanted to be able to easily compare two Sync Service configurations: before a migration to see what the differences are; after a migration to confirm that the servers are now the same; as a…
Navigation Bar Resources not appearing

An odd one today. Several Navigation Bar Resources just would not appear for the Set members that should have been able to see them. Here’s what I observed: The Administrators could see and use the NBRs, The NBRs were listed when I viewed members of the Set of NBRs with the particular Usage Keyword, The…

Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

Putting this here to give me a chance of remembering next time I do this – because I will. I was trying to recompile my custom workflow library and I got the error “Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.” Eventually I remembered that I’d…
