We are about to deploy FIM in a simple topology to a costumer, aiming towards the Self Service Password Reset service.
However the database will be located somewhere else in the network, some concerns were raised by the DB Administrator of the costumer, and i still couldn't find proper documentation covering those questions such as follows:
- Names of user and database are fixed, or can be changed?
- If the DBA's create the database before the installation of Central Instance, the OWNER permission will suffice for the creation of objects?
- Is our standard collation "SQL_LATIN1_General_CP1_Cl_Al" compatible?
- Does the application need any permission on the catalog databases, like "máster", "msdb", etc?
- The migration of the database to production instances can be done using backup and restore?
- Is there a policy for the data stored on this database? Are there any archiving/purge of unecessary data?
