Just a quick note to let you know that the apparently popular project FIM.MRE has
moved from CodePlex to Github. So please help spread the word and
update any links that you may have sitting out there.
So if you want to continue doing codeless provisioning without Synchronization Rules, then the new place to be is https://github.com/sorengranfeldt/mre
Thanks,

UNICEF donation
At Christmas last year (in 2015), I asked for donations from those of you that use my free tools, such as the PowerShell Management Agent for FIM/MIM and the FIM.MRE.
I'm so grateful that a lot of you donated. Even after Christmas 2015, the donation kept coming in, so I postponed handing over the check to UNICEF. However, now I haven't registered any donations for a while, so I decided to extend the donation check to UNICEF.
The donations from all of you reached around $450 and I decided that my company would help, so I doubled the donated amount which resulted in a check for DKK 6.000 (approx $1,000) for UNICEF Denmark - and the check was given to UNICEF today.
Thank you so much for chipping in - and please know that your donation will help a lot of less fortunate children across the world.
Thank you so much

MIM WAL released to GitHub
Microsoft has released their FIM/MIM WAL to GitHub.
The MIMWAL is a Workflow Activity Library (WAL) solution for configuring complex Workflows in the Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) 2016 and Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 R2 solution.
The library is a powerfull activity library to enable you to do things / workflows with the FIM/MIM Service that the out-of-the-box library doesn't do. One could wonder why some of these activities was not part of the FIM/MIM product it self since they are necessary to do real-world implementations (in my opinion anyways).
For that same reason (having a flexible activity library), a few years back, I created a similar workflow library and released it to CodePlex. That library is not quite as extensive as the MIM WAL but the two libraries most certainly have their similarities. And some of my activities take a slightly different approach but you may find that combining or interchanging the activities will get you even further. One of the activities that a lot of people find useful in my library, is the Code Run activity that allows you to run C# code in a workflow.
I'll keep maintaining my library as long as I see activity, interest and uses for it - or maybe I can persuade Microsoft to join force and may combine the two libraries, but that remains to be seen :-)
You can check my library out on CodePlex here - http://fimactivitylibrary.codeplex.com/
You should most certainly put MIM WAL in your arsenal so go find it here - https://github.com/Microsoft/MIMWAL
