Execute PowerShell Scripts via SAP NetWeaver Identity Management

Hello,

Has anyone implemented the execution of a PowerShell script from SAP NetWeaver Identity Management (7.1, 7.2, 8.0?).  Currently implementing 8.0, and our client is looking to kick off PowerShell scripts that would generate Active Directory accounts, Exchange accounts etc.

Thanks!

Hey Brendan,

We've done this out of a 7.2 implementation for exchange 2010 admin processes.  We started with running powershell via a command line pass.  It worked pretty well but it wasn't plain sailing.  We used positional parameters to pass data to the scripts in question, we also had to come up with a return process that deals with any errors that might come of the powershell session.  We had some issues with the shell sessions closing after the script completed.

We've since redesigned and now drop flat files to a constantly running powershell script that acts a bit like an IDM dispatcher (but obviously not integrated with IDM).  It kicks off other powershell sessions and monitors their progress allowing it to process time outs, stack work up, etc.

We also found timing the processes to be an issue.  If you create an AD account in IDM and then try to immediately move onto mailbox enable (for example) the account we created wasn't yet replicated to exchange so we had to build wait time into various parts of the process.

Thanks,

Pete.
