it has been quite a while since my last post but I'm currently busy with some nice identity management project and of course FIM 2010 R2 or hopefully MIM in the future.
Doing all that stuff with FIM I was always looking for a good book about the product it self. I like to read books in my spare time (which I always don't have enough :-)) therefore I would like to write a short blog post about available books and videos about FIM 2010 R2.
Let's start with a video that is available from Kent Nordström (konab.com). The video is based on Kents book "Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Handbook"
https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/enterprise-identity-management-microsoft-forefront-identity-management-video
The video as well as the book has got the following chapters and to me is the best book available for the topic.
- Installing FIM 2010 R2 on Windows Server 2012
- Basic Configuration of FIM Synchronization and FIM Service
- User Management
- Group Management
- Configuring FIM for Self-service
- Customizing FIM
- Reporting
- Issuing Smart Cards Using FIM CM
I realy recommend this to everybody if you're interessted in FIM. There is also a ebook version availabl for your tablet or Kindle. To order the book your can use Kents link http://aka.ms/FIMR2Book.
The second FIM book available.
It's called "FIM R2 Best Practices Volume 1: Introduction, Architecture and Installation of Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2" from David Lundell and Brad Turner
I haven't finisched it yet but it is slightly different from Kents book. I contains more backgroud information on the product, its architecture and the topic identity management itself.
It's realy worth reading it.
At the moment these are the only two books I know about.
Please leave a comment if you know about any other books or videos and I'll include them into my post.
Have fun reading the books.
Chris
