Summary


In this chapter, we have seen how The Company configured their first Management Agents and prepared the FIM environment for further configuration.

In my experience, the most common source of errors in the FIM environment is the lack of well-documented processes to make sure the development/test and production environments look the same. Learning and documenting how to move your configuration from development/test to production is vital as the configuration gets more complex.

If you take your time to make sure your basic configuration setup is satisfactory, it will save you many hours of troubleshooting later on. If you feel confident that your basic configuration is correct, moving on and making more complex configuration settings will be easier.

We are now ready to actually do something with our FIM environment. In the next chapter, we will start off by looking at how to configure FIM for user management.
