Question

Your company network contains Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008. ILM is configured to use 32-bit rules extensions. You upgrade ILM 2007 to Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010. You need to recompile the rules extensions. What should you do? (Choose all that apply.)

Options

  • AConfigure the references to point to a custom .dll file.
  • BConfigure the references to point to the FIM 2010 libraries.
  • CCopy the extensions to the server that runs FIM 2010.
  • DCopy the extensions to a 64-bit version of SQL Server 2008.

Why each option

When upgrading from ILM 2007 to FIM 2010, rules extensions must be physically moved to the FIM server and their references updated to target the new FIM 2010 libraries before recompilation.

AConfigure the references to point to a custom .dll file.

Pointing references to a custom .dll file is not the correct migration step; the references must specifically target the official FIM 2010 libraries, not arbitrary custom assemblies, to ensure compatibility with the FIM 2010 Synchronization Service.

BConfigure the references to point to the FIM 2010 libraries.Correct

FIM 2010 uses updated managed assemblies (Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.dll and related libraries) that replace the ILM 2007 versions; recompiling rules extensions requires updating all project references to point to these new FIM 2010 libraries so the code compiles against the correct API surface.

CCopy the extensions to the server that runs FIM 2010.Correct

The rules extension source files and projects must be physically copied to the FIM 2010 server (or a development environment targeting it) because the extensions were written and compiled for ILM 2007 and need to be recompiled in the context of the new FIM 2010 installation path and environment.

DCopy the extensions to a 64-bit version of SQL Server 2008.

Copying extensions to a 64-bit SQL Server instance is irrelevant to recompiling rules extensions; SQL Server hosts the FIM Service database but plays no role in the compilation or execution of Synchronization Service rules extensions.
