Question

You administer a Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 server for your company named Contoso, Ltd. You discover that several users have not been assigned to a manager within the FIM metaverse. You need to identify the users who have no manager within the metaverse. What should you do?

Options

  • ACreate the following XPath query:
  • BCreate the following XPath query:
  • CCreate the following LDAP query:
  • DCreate a custom Active Directory Users and Computers search filter for the security principles of all users

Why each option

To identify FIM metaverse users without a manager attribute, an XPath query is used to search the FIM Service database for person objects where the manager attribute is not present.

ACreate the following XPath query:Correct

FIM 2010 uses XPath-based queries to filter resources within the FIM Service metaverse portal. An XPath query targeting person objects where the 'Manager' attribute is null or not set (e.g., using 'not(Manager)' predicate) correctly interrogates the FIM metaverse data store to return users lacking a manager assignment. XPath is the native query language for FIM resource searches, making it the appropriate tool for this task.

BCreate the following XPath query:

While also an XPath query, option B presumably contains an incorrect XPath syntax or filter condition that would not accurately return users with no manager attribute in the FIM metaverse.

CCreate the following LDAP query:

LDAP queries are used to search Active Directory or LDAP-compliant directories, not the FIM metaverse; the FIM metaverse is queried using XPath, not LDAP syntax.

DCreate a custom Active Directory Users and Computers search filter for the security principles of all users

Active Directory Users and Computers search filters query Active Directory attributes directly and have no visibility into the FIM metaverse, so they cannot identify users missing a manager specifically within the FIM metaverse.
