It’s available on CodePlex now - FIM Ultimate File Connector

• Just the basic File Connector supporting the following OOB file formats:
  Attribute Value Pair (AVP)
  Delimited
  Directory Services Markup Language (DSML)
  Fixed
  LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF)
  
  …But has the following extra functionality:
  Full Export that before ECMA had to be handled externally from FIM/ILM/MIIS
  Files can be managed at FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP and File System Locations (remote from the Extensions folder)
  Files can be compressed/extracted with or without encryption/decryption
  Substitution of date and time values in file names

I would love all possible input like suggestions on how it could get better, ideas for new functionality but also the bad things otherwise how can I make it better…

Go check it out: FIM Ultimate File Connector

I wonder what this means for Omada? Or as Ian Glazer(Gartner) says:
If you get acquired by Microsoft (or Quest), you win! If you don’t get acquired, you lose and the risk to your market increases.  BHOLD wins the Microsoft IAG lottery
