FIM ScriptBox Item

Summary

If you would like to wipe out the AdvancedFilter property on all the SearchScope objects within FIM (e.g. you may want to wipe them clean so that this PowerShell script can configure them consistently). This script will undo any custom AdvancedFilters you may have put on Search Scopes (only those SearchScopes which lists the DisplayName attribute as part of the SearchScopeContext).

If you want to revert all of your search scopes back to the original, FIM 2010 version you can use the forementioned PowerShell script at this location to revert the search scopes.

<# .SYNOPSIS Reverts all the search scopes to use Contains instead of starts-with for the DisplayName Attribute, except any Search Scope where the AdvancedFilter is already configured. .PARAMETER uri Address of FIM service. Default is http://localhost:5725 .PARAMETER echoOnly When supplied, only prints out messages and does not change the Search Scopes .PARAMETER force When supplied, will overwrite any AdvancedFilters that are already configured--not null and not an empty string after being trimmed. .DESCRIPTION Updates the AdvancedFilter property on all the SearchScope objects within FIM to use Contains instead of starts-with for the DisplayName Attribute. .NOTES Version 1.0.0.0 - 28/06/2012 .EXAMPLE .\bulk-searchstyle-revert Reverts all the search scopes to use Contains instead of starts-with for the DisplayName Attribute, except any Search Scope where the AdvancedFilter is already configured. .EXAMPLE .\bulk-searchstyle-revert -force Reverts all the search scopes to use Contains instead of starts-with for the DisplayName Attribute including any Search Scope where the AdvancedFilter is already configured. .EXAMPLE .\bulk-searchstyle-revert -echoOnly Prints out the Search Scope name and what the AdvancedFilter should be without actuall altering the Search Scope. Useful for seeing what this function would alter. #>
