How to create a Set of Group Owners

Question

Step 1:  Create and bind an attribute called GroupOwner to user objects in the Portal
Step 2:  Run the following Powershell script as an administrator of FIM.
Step 3: Create your set based on the updated GroupOwner attribute which will now be true for all your Group Owners
Step 4:  Make workflows! :)
The Code:
$uri
=
http://NameofYourServer:5725
$attributeName
=
"GroupOwner"
# load FIM snapin, ignore errors if already loaded
Add-PSSnapin
FIMAutomation
-ErrorAction
SilentlyContinue
# gets the value of a single-valued attribute from an exported object
function
GetAttributeValue($exportObject,[string]
$name) {
$attribute
=
$exportObject.ResourceManagementObject.ResourceManagementAttributes |
Where-Object {$_.AttributeName
-eq
$name}
if ($attribute
-ne
$null
-and
$attribute.Value) {
$attribute.Value
      $users=Export-FIMConfig
-CustomConfig
"/Person[ObjectID = /Group/Owner]"
-OnlyBaseResources
foreach ($user
in
$users) {
$objectID2=$user.ResourceManagementObject.ResourceManagementAttributes
| Where-Object {$_.AttributeName
-eq
"ObjectID"}
$objectID2=$objectID2.Value
$ImportOperation
= [Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportOperation]
$ImportState
= [Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportState]
$importChange
=
New-Object
Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportChange
$importChange.Operation
=
$ImportOperation::Replace
$importChange.AttributeName
=
${attributeName}
$importChange.AttributeValue
=
$true
$importChange.FullyResolved
= 1
$importChange.Locale
=
"Invariant"
$importObject
=
New-Object
Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportObject
$importObject.ObjectType
=
"Person"
$importObject.TargetObjectIdentifier
=
$objectID2
$importObject.SourceObjectIdentifier
=
$objectID2
$importObject.State
=
$ImportState::Put
$importObject.Changes
= (,$importChange)
$importObject |
Import-FIMConfig
-uri
$uri

Answer 1

Changed the code to allow for skipping values that are already true to reduce FIM level overhead.
$uri = "http://FQDNofyourServer:5725"
$attributeName = "GroupOwner"
# load FIM snapin, ignore errors if already loaded
Add-PSSnapin FIMAutomation -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
# gets the value of a single-valued attribute from an exported object
function GetAttributeValue($exportObject,[string] $name) {
$attribute = $exportObject.ResourceManagementObject.ResourceManagementAttributes |
Where-Object {$_.AttributeName -eq $name}
if ($attribute -ne $null -and $attribute.Value) {
$attribute.Value
$users=Export-FIMConfig -CustomConfig "/Person[ObjectID = /Group/Owner]" -OnlyBaseResources
foreach ($user in $users) {
$objectID2=$user.ResourceManagementObject.ResourceManagementAttributes | Where-Object {$_.AttributeName -eq "ObjectID"}
$objectID2=$objectID2.Value
$objectID3=$user.ResourceManagementObject.ResourceManagementAttributes | Where-Object {$_.AttributeName -eq "GroupOwner"}
$objectID3=$objectID3.Value
if ($objectID3 -ne $true) {
# write-host $objectID2
$ImportOperation = [Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportOperation]
$ImportState = [Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportState]
$importChange = New-Object Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportChange
$importChange.Operation = $ImportOperation::Replace
$importChange.AttributeName = ${attributeName}
$importChange.AttributeValue = $true
$importChange.FullyResolved = 1
$importChange.Locale = "Invariant"
$importObject = New-Object Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportObject
$importObject.ObjectType = "Person"
$importObject.TargetObjectIdentifier = $objectID2
$importObject.SourceObjectIdentifier = $objectID2
$importObject.State = $ImportState::Put
$importObject.Changes = (,$importChange)
$importObject | Import-FIMConfig -uri $uri
