		<description><![CDATA[The AD management agent uses an account to connect to AD and, more often than not, this account is a member of Domain Admins. However in some organisations this is not acceptable. So what rights does it actually need?

The one domain-wide right you do need to grant is Replicate Directory Changes - and you can read all [...]]]></description>

Still, it&#8217;s giving me an opportunity to get my powershell skills up to date.

		<description><![CDATA[A common requirement is that user accounts should go through a disabled stage of some length before being deleted. This makes excellent sense, particularly in AD with its fastidiousness concerning SIDs.
In this post I outline a way to achieve this in AD using a datestamped attribute, export flow rules and provisioning code.

The General Approach

		<description><![CDATA[In some implementations, it makes sense (usually by improving performance) to separate your user and group provisioning into seperate MAs. One downside of this approach, however, is that you can run into export errors when trying to update a group with a member who doesn&#8217;t exist in the external directory - and this includes delete [...]]]></description>

In brief, the notion is to optimise ILM/MIIS scheduling through the use of a queue. You add jobs to the queue and they are executed, one at a time, and in order of priority. You can schedule a job by adding it [...]]]></description>

You may have noticed the &#8221;test only&#8221; log file options on the import and export run profiles. Being able to stop the run at the log file is incredibly useful for testing what would have been exported, without actually [...]]]></description>

In a reasonably stable system, without great quantities of new data being added, the trans log for the MIIS database will alledgedly stay at a stable size. Of course this [...]]]></description>

If you have questions don&#8217;t forget the MS ILM Forum which seems to be working really well, with Ahmad and Markus providing lots of great answers. Wish that had existed when I started out with MIIS!
