FIM WMI NAMESPACE PROVIDER

With the namespace provider, you may be able to write scripts to go in and look at things in the FIM Synchronization Service Engine.  Items like:

  • The number of runs in the run history

Review the MSDN information on our WMI Namespace Provider: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms694615.aspx

Other Ideas for monitoring

Here are some ideas on other products to monitor as well, that are associated with the Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 product. 

  • Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Windows SharePoint Foundation Server 2010
  • Microsoft Internet Information Services ( IIS )
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2
