MIIS Interview Question:

What do rules determine when you run a management agent in MIIS (Microsoft Identity Integration Server)?

Submitted by: Administrator

When you run a management agent, you can specify that a join rule be applied to each object in the connector space. By specifying a join rule, Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 searches the metaverse and attempts to find a corresponding object to which the connector space object can be joined. When a search returns any results, the resolution rules determine whether:
☛ None of the objects satisfies the join criteria, in which case the next search criteria are evaluated.
☛ Exactly one of the objects satisfies the join criteria, in which case it is joined with the connector object.
☛ More than one of the objects satisfies the join criteria, in which case the join operation fails.
