Status

The DSC module for MIM Sync is nearly complete. Next steps:

• Improve the DSC script generator for MIM Sync (turns a MIM Sync configuration into a DSC configuration)
• Publish MIM Sync DSC module to the PowerShell Gallery
• Start work on the MIM Service DSC module

DSC Module for MIM

MIMDSC is a PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) module for Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM). MIM is a powerful on-premises solution for identity integration. Great power can result in great complexity, and keeping a MIM deployment in a known state can be challenging. PowerShell DSC provides an elegant separation of state (the what) from ensuring that state (the how), resulting in a system of:

• Configuration - declarations of what the system should look like
• Resources - code that is able to transition the system to the desired state The MIMDSC module contains DSC resources for MIM Service and MIM Synchronization Service.

MIM Service and Portal

The DSC resources for MIM Service and Portal depend on the MIM PowerShell snap-in, so can read and write any configuration item exposed through that snap-in.

MIM Synchronization Service

The DSC resources for MIM Synchronization Service depend on the miisexport.exe utility, so can only read configuration items and report on items that are not in the desired state.

Supported Product Versions

The DSC resources in this module should work with FIM on Windows Server 2012 R2 but so far are only tested on:

• MIM 2016
• Windows Server 2016
• SQL Server 2016
• SharePoint ???

Support

The MIMDSC module is not part of the MIM product, and is supported similar to the MIMWAL project.
