Posted to blogs.technet.com/forefront on 30 Sept, 2009:
The RC1 release of Forefront Identity Manager 2010 (FIM) is available today here. The next version of Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007, FIM 2010 dramatically improves enterprise identity management by delivering owerful self-service capabilities for Office end-users, rich administrative tools and enhanced automation for IT professionals, and .NET and WS-* based extensibility for developers. The final release is slated for the first quarter of 2010.
What’s new in FIM RC1:
· Significant performance and scalability improvements across the product.
· Key feature enhancements, such as the ability to show invalid security group members and to disable batch approve/reject of membership requests if needed. A System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) management pack and configuration migration tools are also new for RC1.
· The FIM 2010 user interface has enhanced usability and layout in many areas, resulting directly from RC0 customer feedback.
· The product is now rebranded as Forefront Identity Manager 2010, with a few exceptions, replacing the old “ILM 2” codename.
FIM is part of Microsoft’s continued, far-reaching commitment to enabling more secure, identity-based access to applications - on-premises and in the cloud, from virtually any location or device
I am creating a new VHD for this release as well but it will not be available in another 7-10 days at least.
Have fun !
