Question

You administer a Forefront Identity Management (FIM) 2010 server in your company network. The FIM server is synchronized by using Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). You create a workflow that modifies attributes of AD DS user accounts. You apply the workflow to the accounts by using a Set Transition Management Policy Rule (MPR). You discover that one of the attributes was calculated incorrectly. You modify the workflow and select the Run on Policy update check box. You need to apply the modified workflow to the same AD DS user accounts. What should you do?

Options

  • AAdd the accounts to a new set. Add the set to the MPR.
  • BAdd the accounts to a new set. Create a new Set Transition Out MPR. Add the workflow to the MPR.
  • CCreate a new Inbound synchronization rule. Add the rule to the workflow.
  • DCreate a new Outbound synchronization rule. Add the rule to the workflow.

Why each option

To apply a modified workflow to existing accounts governed by a Set Transition MPR, you must force the accounts to re-trigger the set transition event.

AAdd the accounts to a new set. Add the set to the MPR.Correct

By creating a new set, adding the accounts to it, and then modifying the existing Set Transition Management Policy Rule (MPR) to target this new set, the accounts will undergo a new 'transition in' event. This re-triggers the MPR and causes the modified workflow to execute, with the 'Run on Policy update' checkbox ensuring the latest workflow definition is applied.

BAdd the accounts to a new set. Create a new Set Transition Out MPR. Add the workflow to the MPR.

A Set Transition Out MPR triggers when accounts *leave* a set, which is not suitable for applying a workflow to modify attributes for accounts already in a desired state.

CCreate a new Inbound synchronization rule. Add the rule to the workflow.

Synchronization rules manage data flow between FIM and connected systems and are not directly added to workflows to initiate policy processing for attribute modifications.

DCreate a new Outbound synchronization rule. Add the rule to the workflow.

Outbound synchronization rules flow data from FIM to connected systems and are not used to trigger workflow policy processing.
