In this chapter, The Financial Company configured their first Management Agents and prepared the MIM environment for further configuration. Note that one common source of error in a MIM 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.
In the next chapter, we will look at how to configure MIM Service.
