Your company network includes Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010. You plan to configure a Management Agent (MA). Provisioning rules disconnect connector space objects from the corresponding…

Rules extensions provide custom logic but do not directly manage the re-evaluation behavior of disconnected objects in the specific way that an explicit disconnector does.

Simply making a deprovisioning rule create a 'disconnector' does not inherently prevent it from being re-evaluated for joining on subsequent runs; an explicit disconnector is required for that specific behavior.

An explicit disconnector is a specific state in FIM that prevents a connector space object from being considered for join or projection rules during subsequent synchronization runs, even if a join rule would otherwise match it. This ensures that objects intentionally disconnected by provisioning rules remain disconnected and are not inadvertently re-joined to a metaverse object.

Staging a delete removes the object from the connected data source on the next export, which is a different action than preventing a disconnected object from being re-evaluated for joining.
