Discussion Hello from SharePoint guy

    Hello,

    I use SharePoint 2010 and have successfully configured User Profile Synchronization in our environment. As you many know SP 2010 uses Forefront identity manager packaged inside to do the job of profile synchronization.

    In our environment we have written powershell code which helps us configure the user profile service.

    The problem is that when we create an AD connection we have to specify filters on the AD connection. These are things like accounts must have a mailbox. Account should not be inactive accounts etc.

    When I go to MIISClient.exe I can see that all these settings are stored there.

    Now in SharePoint I haven't found any API (using Powershell) which allows me to set these AD filters. I wonder if Forefront identity manager has its own powershell which would allow me to write code to programmatically create the AD filters. Let me give a screenshot from miisclient.exe to show what I am talking about

    I want to be able to set the above 3 by means of a script or command (preferably using PowerShell).

    Unfortunately answer is no - there is no Powershell to configure that.

    If PowerShell is not possible..... Is there an API which we could call from C++ maybe ... or is this screen totally isolated from any programmatic intervention?
