I could have worded the Oracle part better, thanks for clarifying. We are presently ripping out TIM and integrating the *NIX processes it was managing to AD and the enterprise with the Quest stack.
Still have the old Sun product doing some provisioning and <gag> MIIS doing a number of tasks. Lot of homegrown pieces as well. There's an effort to rip a lot of the old plumbing out and replace functionality with ARS and FIM. ARS is inflight, FIM is still a gleam in our eyes :) From: Brian Desmond [mailto:br...@briandesmond.com] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2011 2:48 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: AD Account Management Tool Well the Oracle solution is the pre-merger Oracle product. They've killed the (IMO superior) Sun product. I'm not sure who would lose the race between TIM and OIM. I've never really compared them - just ripped them both out many times. Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) is the heavy duty product of choice for me. The solutions Michael mentioned are all good purpose built/entry level tools. Imanami and TheDotNetFactory are a couple of other niche vendors.

From a very high overview we basically need to do two things. Create AD accounts with groups etc, or manage AD accounts. From there we have some third party systems that we need to do configuring with. Currently say a manager hires a new person. He submits a ticket for an account to be created...and you know the rest. So what we end up with is several FTE's who do nothing all day long but repetitive account maintenance tasks. We were thinking of building something using workflows for these repetitive tasks. Now I know there may need to be some custom/integration coding but surely someone out there has sells a tool / interface that handles the majority of this workflow. So I guess that is my question. What tools / products might you know of that provide this core workflow style capability that we can then catapult off for the integration / loose ends programming?
