FimExplorer

Tool for executing XPath queries against FIM without going though it's horrible web portal.

What it can do:

  • run any xpath query against FIM (you can choose what attributes will be fetched; all are fetched by default)
  • find objects by ID
  • display results in grid
  • display single object information in a dialog (double-click the grid row)
  • navigate through references (click on the ID link)
  • export displayed results to XML (this one produces the same results as FIM migration cmdlets: Export-FIMConfig / ConvertTo-FIMResource / ConvertFrom-FIMResource, read MSDN for more info)
  • import objects from XML (generated by FimExplorer or FIM cmdlets) and show them in grid; this can be useful for "offline" analysis
  • it is not required to run on a machine with FIM installed

Important

It uses Predica.FimCommunication library library under the hood. It is referenced as a Git submodule. So after you clone the FimExplorer repository make sure to also run "git submodule init" and "git submodule update" commands to download it!
