My company has moved from NZ to the US and while in NZ they used FIM 2010 to synchronize AD with O365. Now that they're here, they'd like to replicate their FIM server in the US and I have been tasked with building the new server. I have a couple off questions first:
1. Is there a way to simply replicate the server from there to here? They're both VMs in a HyperV environment and they will be using different SQL servers.
2. If I have to build a new server, is there a way to export the configuration information from the old server to the new server?
3. Is installing an FIM Portal mandatory? And is it a separate server?
4. While we're on the subject, MS isn't very clear about the actual components involved with FIM 2010: how many separate servers do I need? Or can we just have one FIM server that connects to external SharePoint and SQL servers?
Thanks in advance.
