I've posted a PowerShell script you can run on the FIM Synchronization server to display the names of the FIM security groups:

How to Use PowerShell to Display the FIM Security Groups

The script will come in handy if the default FIM security group names were not used and nobody remembers the names of the groups.  FYI - The only supported method to modify these groups is to re-run the setup.  This is because we set permissions in DCOM, the registry and folders.

The number #1 question I get asked is "How can I quickly setup FIM self-service password reset?"

The first item you will need to do is go through the deploying FIM 2010 R2 checklist of requirements, before you begin and setting up the FIM Sync and FIM Portal components:

If you want to do a quick proof-of-concept the SSPR quick start tool will be useful:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh332710(v=ws.10).aspx

If you want all the steps involved or if the quick start tool is not sufficient then follow the FIM R2 SSPR Deployment Guide:

Another helpful SSPR link is the FIM 2010 R2 SSPR Resources Wiki

A few days ago we released FIM 2010 R2 Hotfix 4.1.3451.0.  Like all FIM hotfixes, it is a cumulative meaning you will get all the new features and bug fixes of prior hotfixes (and Service Pack 1 if you haven't installed it yet).

OK, I can now say that Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 SP1 is officially announced. 

This is a big milestone for the product as we have added official support for Windows 2012, SQL 2012, SharePoint 2013, Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint Foundation 2013, and Exchange 2013.  For the client extensions we now support Windows 8 and Outlook 2013.  For FIM reporting we have added support for System Center Service Manager 2012.  Internet Explorer 10 with the Portal is fully supported too (see KB article for two hotfixes that need to be applied to the Portal for IE 10 support.)

Beyond all the new product support cycles we've improved the time it takes to upgrade from FIM 2010 to FIM 2010 R2 and fixed some bugs.
