Microsoft® Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 uses Microsoft SQL Server 2008 as its database host. You can install both FIM and SQL Server on the same server running Windows Server® 2008 operating system, or you can install SQL Server on a remote server.
When you install FIM Synchronization Service, a database is created in SQL Server. This database stores data that includes the following:
- Metaverse data
- Management agents and run profiles
- Management agent run history
- Connector space data
- Joiner log
- Rules extensions
The FIM Synchronization Service database does not store the following:
- Log files
- Contents of the \MAData folder
- Administrative scripts (for example, custom
scheduling scripts or .vbs scripts created during run profile
configuration)
Caution | |
Data in the FIM Synchronization Service database should never be directly modified by the user. User modification can cause database corruption, failure of the server running FIM, and loss of data. During installation of FIM, permissions to access the FIM Synchronization Service database are granted to the Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 service account and to the user account that installed FIM. You should restrict all other accounts from accessing the FIM Synchronization Service database. |
