MimSyncExportAttributeFlowRule

This resource is for MIM Sync export attribute flow rules.

The DSC resource configuration below validates the MIM Sync configuration by inspecting the XML below. TODO - include screen shots of the MIM Sync UI

• DSC Configuration
• MIM Sync XML
• DSC Verbose Output

DSC Configuration

This is a sample DSC configuration including just the Export Attribute Flow Rule resource type.

Configuration TestMimSyncExportAttributeFlowRule 
{ 
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName MimSyncDsc

    Node (hostname) 
    { 
        ExportAttributeFlowRule TestMimSyncExportAttributeFlowRule
        {
            ManagementAgentName    = 'TinyHR'
            MVObjectType           = 'SyncObject'
            CDAttribute            = 'JobTitle'
            CDObjectType           = 'person'
            Type                   = 'direct-mapping'
            SrcAttribute           = 'Title'
            SuppressDeletions      = $false
            Ensure                 = 'Present'
        }
    }
} 

MIM Sync XML

This is the XML exported from the Sync Service, which is what the DSC resource validates.
