Cut down on your PowerShell code with the Lithnet FIM Service PowerShell module
The FIMAutomation PowerShell module requires you to write a lot of code to perform even the most basic tasks. Let’s have a look at the following example in which Paul Williams provides some very well-written code for updating the EmployeeEndDate attribute of a user using the FIMAutomation snap-in. Now lets look at doing the same thing with the Lithnet FIM Service PowerShell module The same task requires much less code, and much easier to understand. Perhaps most importantly, we don’t need to understand the inner workings of the FIM Service itself (import changes, put operations, etc) to do something as simple as updating an attribute value. Just get, set, and save.
