(2011-02-18) Latest Rollup Hotfix Available For FIM 2010 (build 4.0.3573.2)

A few weeks ago Microsoft released a new KB article MS-KBQ2417774 which included FIM 2010 build 4.0.03561.2. The first days of february that KB article was updated to release a new revision (revision 4) of that build. However it did get a new build number being build 4.0.03573.2. About a week ago, the KB article was updated again to release a newer revision (revision 5) of the latter build (build 4.0.03573.2). So we got an update for the update! :-).

When you compare the revision 4 build with the revision 5 build, the revision 5 build does not include updates for FIM CM and FIM PCNS. Weird, because revision 4 is not available anymore, only revision 5 build.

In my opinion the most interesting updates in this new build are:

• AD MA now fully supports AD Recycle Bin;
  
• Approval operations can be processed by any FIM instance;
  
• Improved FIM MA performance (multi-threaded), especially during initial loads
  

For more details see, the link to the KB article is: A hotfix rollup package (build 4.0.3573.2) is available for Forefront Identity Manager 2010 (REV5)

On my FIM 2010 test environment I already had deployed revision 4 and last night I updated it with revision 5 without any issues. I still need to test if everything I configured is still working. If something breaks, I’ll post it here.

Ohhh, and to do too much at the same time I also decide to update my FIM 2010 test environment, based upon W2K8R2 and Win7, to SP1 which was released a few days ago.

 

Cheers,
Jorge
