Remarks
If password synchronization is enabled, you must run

see Password
Management
MIISactivate.exe is located in the
InstallationDirectory\Bin folder.
Local Administrator privileges are required to run
MIISactivate.exe.
If you receive the error message Exception: 0x80230443
when running MIISactivate.exe, this indicates a schema mismatch.
This can occur when a service pack has been applied to the primary
server, but not to the warm standby server. You should update the
warm standby server with the same service pack used to update the
primary server, and then run MIISactivate.exe again.
If you activate a standby server and are unable to open
Identity Manager, it may be because the MIISAdmin groups
were created as local groups instead of domain groups. You will
need to create the new domain group, re-run Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 setup in repair mode and specify the new
domain group.
Example
To activate a backup server running Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 and make it the primary server running
Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003, type:
