New install or Upgrade to Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 SP1– Service and Portal

 

In this post we will walk through an upgrade / Install scenario of MIM 2016 to MIM 2016 SP1, note this is not an in place upgrade and it requires the current version to either be uninstalled first if installing on the same server that your current version of MIM 2016 is installed on or installing in a “side by side” scenario. In a “side by side” install scenario you would perform the install of Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 SP1 components on “new” servers but you would point to the existing Synchronization Service Database and FIMService Database.

Before you Begin

  1. Be sure to have Fresh backups of the FIMService Database ( See your SQL Administrator for assistance )
  2. If running a VM I would also do a snapshot ( Although this is not necessary it may be good to have in case of emergency break glass kind of thing )
  3. Verify that any current synchs have completed and stop and disable any Scheduled task for your synchronization Service
    • This will protect the FIMService Database if being reused.
  4. Verify that the Synchronization Service has already been Successfully upgraded.
  5. Verify local SQL Agent is running
  6. Verify SharePoint Administration Service is started
  7. Verify that all necessary updates have been applied to your server that the Install of MIM 2016 SP1 will be performed on.
  8. Verify you have all necessary Accounts / Passwords that will be needed to install MIM 2016 SP1 SP1.
  9. Stop Forefront Identity Manager Service service if it is running
  10. When you believe you are ready take a breath get a fresh cup of coffee and lets begin….

 

 

Navigate to the location of the Installation files for MIM 2016 SP1 Synchronization Service (Synchronization Service.msi)

Right click on Service and Portal.msi and click on Install.

If you receive the following error, then you are attempting to install the MIM 2016 SP1 Service and Portal on a server that has a previous version of the Service and Portal still installed.

Click on OK, uninstall the Service and Portal, if it has been previously uninstalled you may need to reboot the server before installing MIM 2016 SP1

If you don’t get the above error, you should be presented with the following welcome screen.

      I was assuming that the Reader would know this, but yes you are correct you would have to have a copy of the DB on a NEW SQL Environment or instance and point to that. I also do not mention that the server needs to be powered on there are some things that i expect our readers to just know. The information on this blog is provided FREE of charge and is written on what little free time i have so on occasion i may pull back on some of the details that i would expect a seasoned IT ADMIN to know. Additionally this post was in reference to the Service and portal "NOT" the Synchronization Service.
