We reported that Microsoft has released Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2, but you might be wondering exactly what’s new in R2. There are several categories of new features, including increased global reach (language support), better performance, a new extensible connectivity MA framework, and a whole slew of improvements to troubleshooting and diagnostics. There are also updated connectors, improvements to self-service password reset, and improvements to the reporting platform. And that’s not all! You can get the specifics in the “What’s New” document over on the TechNet Forefront web site.
