Note-to-self: a new build of the #MIM2016 CTP on Microsoft Connect (Milestone CTP4, 4.3.1935.0)

Last update, in april, the FIM/MIM product group posted MIM beta-build  4.3.1790.0.
Yesterday the MIM PG has posted new build install files on Connect. (4.3.1935.0).

Just a few days ago the FIM/MIM product group released some interesting stuff on the Connect platform: the MIM 2015 PAM Preview – Step up experience based on VMs.

I certainly advise to use the Microsoft File Transfer Manager (Download manager), as you’ll need to pull around 16GB of data down your internet link.

MIM 2015 CTP published on connect. #FIM2010 #MSIM2015

Microsoft has published the CTP of Microsoft Identity Manager 2015, aka FIM vNext.
Some people reported that they could not see the item in their Connect Dashboard, while they had already registered for other FIM beta’s.

The CTP is published on the same Connect site as the FIM beta’s were published before: https://connect.microsoft.com/site433/Downloads

But you’ll need to look for the Active Directory Identity and Access Management CTP program under the Identity and Access Management product.

MIM2015CTP

If you don’t see the item in your on your Connect Dashboard, try this link: Active Directory Identity and Access Management CTP (https://connect.microsoft.com/site433/MIM%202015%20CTP).
Keep in mind you need to register to Connect first.
