Stop the FIM Service.Stop the FIM Synchronization Service.Start the FIM Synchronization Service.Provide the encryption keys that were exported during the backup process.Install the FIM 2010 Synchronization Service on a new computer in the same Active Directory domain.

Correct arrangement

  • Install the FIM 2010 Synchronization Service on a new computer in the same Active Directory domain.
  • Provide the encryption keys that were exported during the backup process.
  • Start the FIM Synchronization Service.

Explanation

When restoring FIM Synchronization Service after a failure, the correct procedure is to first install FIM 2010 Synchronization Service on a new computer in the same Active Directory domain, and then provide the encryption keys that were exported during the backup process. The encryption keys are critical because FIM Sync uses them to protect sensitive data (such as connector credentials and attribute values) stored in the metaverse; without restoring these keys, the service cannot decrypt the previously stored data and will not function correctly with the restored database.
