As a Security pro this is great news, these docs can help you secure your Microsoft infrastructure:
The Infrastructure Planning and Design team is working on two new guides and would like your feedback: Microsoft Forefront™ Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 and Active Directory® Certificate Services (AD CS). Get the betas by visiting the Connect Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=186024.
The Infrastructure Planning and Design guide for Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 provides actionable guidance for designing a FIM 2010 infrastructure. Follow this guide’s step-by-step process to determine the FIM components necessary for fulfilling your organization’s identity-management needs, and design an infrastructure with the right deployment topology for meeting your performance and availability requirements.
The Infrastructure Planning and Design guide for Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) outlines the critical infrastructure design elements that are key to a successful implementation of Active Directory Certificate Services. Using this guide will result in a certificate services design that is optimized to meet the needs of your organization at the lowest cost.
The two guides can be used together to design a FIM certificate-brokering service that is integrated with AD CS to deliver identity-managed certificate services.
The Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) team is working on related guidance: the MOF Reliability Workbook for Active Directory Certificate Services. It provides knowledge, specific tasks, and schedules needed to keep Active Directory Certificate Services running smoothly.
Reduce time and planning costs by following the processes in these IPD guides to design a successful deployment of FIM and AD CS, and use the MOF Reliability Workbook to optimize monitoring and maintenance activities.
