A museum curator does not put every piece of art he has on the walls, and that's what makes the experience great. It's all about what's left out.
Here is the scenario:
Power outage at 2:00 a.m.
Outage lasted longer than our battery life.
We have plans in our roadmap to implement scripts to do shutdowns (gracefully) when a low battery signal comes from the UPS, but for the time being, we do not have that.
Initially, we had some fun bringing everything back up in order. It gets particularly interesting when your AD Domain Controllers are all virtual, DNS is all virtual and DHCP is virtual. Get some nice little chicken and egg issues, but we have learned our lesson and are going to create a DNS, DHCP, and DC that are physical, so they can come up before the virtual environment.
This one is a pretty fun example. I have a user coming from a payroll system. The user has a PayrollCode identifier on them. Unfortunately, this Payroll identifier code is not completely unique, so I have to query another object in eDirectory to get the uniqueCode. To do this I will be using XPATH. I have posted the actions XML of the rule below. I'll break it apart and explain.

Currently, they have many users who are no longer working for the company, but still have active BlackBerry accounts on the BES server, which is a huge compliance isue.

Today I was working on a Novell IDM project and I needed to use some XSL to call an external Java to format some text. So, when I created my policy, I created an XSLT policy instead of a standard DirXML policy. My input values looked something like the following:
