Important

The following instructions are for demonstrating the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Reporting test lab using a scaled-out deployment. That is, the FIM Portal and the FIM database will not be residing on the same server. The SCSM Management Server and the Data Warehouse will be on separate servers. Individual computers are needed to separate the services provided on the network and to clearly show the desired functionality. This configuration is neither designed to reflect best practices nor does it reflect a desired or recommended configuration for a production network. The configuration, including IP addresses and all other configuration parameters, is designed only to work on a separate test lab network. Attempting to adapt this Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 test lab configuration to a pilot or production deployment can result in configuration or functionality issues. To ensure proper configuration and operation for your pilot or production Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 deployment, use the additional documentation provide with the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2.

Test Lab Overview

In this test lab, no additional servers are required other than the ones need for the preceding steps

The Forefront Identity Manager test lab uses the following subnet:

• The intranet established by the Base Configuration Test Lab Guide, referred to as the Corpnet subnet (10.0.0.0/24).

Computers on each subnet connect using a hub or switch. See the following figure.

This test lab will guide you through the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Reporting process. The purpose of this test lab is to allow for the creation of a basic test lab environment that consists of Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Reporting. This test lab guide can be used as a building block for additional test lab guides that demonstrate increased functionality or additional features of Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2.

Hardware and Software Requirements

There are no additional software or hardware requirements for this test lab.

Steps for Configuring the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Test Lab

There are nine steps to follow when setting up the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 test lab based on the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Test Lab Guide.

• Step 1: Set Up the Base Configuration Test Lab—The Base Configuration is the core of all Test Lab Guide scenarios. The first step is to complete the Base Configuration.

• Step 2: Set Up the Exchange Server 2010 with Service Pack 1 Test Lab—The second step is to complete the Exchange Server 2010 with Service Pack 1 test lab guide. This provides Active Directory® attributes and e-mail functionality for the FIM Service account.

• Step 3: Set Up the SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Test Lab—The third step is to complete the SQL Server 2008 Enterprise with Service Pack 2 test lab guide. This provides the database server for your FIM installation.

• Step 4: Set Up the System Center Service Manager SP1 Test Lab

• Step 5: Set Up the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Test Lab—The fifth step includes installing Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2.

• Step 6: Configure Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Reporting—The sixth step goes through setting up and configuring reporting.

• Step 7: Verify the Group Membership Change History Report—The seventh step verifies the report is showing data.

This guide provides steps for configuring the computers of the Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 Reporting test lab. The following sections provide details about how to perform these tasks.
