Microsoft Sync Engine (AKA MIIS)
During Monday’s keynote address at Quest’s The Expert’s Conference, Microsoft revealed that they have split Forefront Identity Manager from the Sync Engine it uses (formerly MMS, MIIS, ILM 2007) and placed the Sync engine under Conrad Bayer. I am not certain this fully constitutes a shift in strategy for FIM or the reality that legacy systems will need to be provisioned far into the future. I predict to be successful the sync engine is going to need a face lift to allow Server administrators to quickly make use of it.
