Hi Lourgh,i haven't seen documentation about theERP MA that will be shipped with ILM V2, but I think theILM V2 MA has very similar characteristics than the ERP MA in ILM2007.Supported modules are:- SAP 4.6D or later - SAP HR - Other SAP verticals when SAP Common User Access (CUA) is in placeThe MA supports password syncs from AD to SAP (done by an administrative password reset in SAP), you cannot sync passwords from SAP to AD. You can download the ERP MA athttp://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e05fa661-d087-4b12-8a79-e59494c9dd4a&displaylang=en. Within the package you can find detailed documentation about ERP MA concepts and configurationHope this helps/Matthias

Hi Lourh,
Another option is to write you own SAP XMA, you can use SAP's Business API (BAPI) calls via a code proxy directly into SAP. SAP and Microsoft produced a SAP proxy code generator for Visual Studio - but Ithink this only works with VS2003, I have used a product from SoftWise that works on more recent versions of VS (seehttp://www.softwise.com.ar/products.php).These can be quite challenging to write, but you get a lot of flexibility. Here isdocument describing a (very) few of the BAPI calls availablehttps://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/668e6629-0701-0010-7ca0-994cb7dec5a3Hope this helpsRegards

Lourgh,the ERP MA you've downloaded is not supported by ILM V2. Beneath missing prerequisites the MA is not 64 Bit compatible./Matthias

Hi Steve,
I'm not aware of MS release plans, but I guess the RTM release should include the ERP MA.

Only AD is the source of passwords for synchronization with ILM 2007 or FIM 2010. The RC0 version did include the ERP MA for SAP.AhmadAW
