For this procedure, in Identity Manager, you can create a
Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003 class library project
for a management agent. With management agent rules extensions, you
can manage connector filters, joins, projection, deprovisioning,
and attribute flow rules. To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the MIISAdmins security group.

Notes
Alternatively, you can also use Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003 to create a rules extension project for a
management agent. This method is necessary when Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 is not installed on the local computer.
For more information about using Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003 to create a rules extension project for a
management agent and more detailed information about developing
rules extensions for management agents, open the Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 Developer Reference.
When you select the Launch in VS .NET option,
Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003 must reside on the
local computer.
You can configure Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003
to unload a management agent rules extension from memory if a
process is unresponsive. To do this, on the Tools menu,
click Options. Under Global Rules Extension Settings,
click the Unload rules extension if for a single operation
exceeds check box, and then click a time in seconds.
You cannot use the same name for two different rules extensions
that are located on the same server running Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003. A valid rules extension name can contain
uppercase and lowercase letters A through Z, dashes (-),
underscores (_), and spaces, and cannot be a reserved system file
name. Other characters are not permitted.
