Migrating MIM To IdentityIQ: Undocumented Rules Extension Recovery Guide Updated
Oct 24, 2026
Azure IAM updates its MIM-to-IdentityIQ migration guide for organizations, explaining how to decompile compiled rules extensions, translate supported logic, flag unsupported constructs, and validate system behavior before production cutover.
Las Cruces, United States, October 24, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Azure IAM has released an updated migration guide for organizations transitioning from Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) to SailPoint IdentityIQ. The guide details how to decompile compiled rules extensions when source files are unavailable.
More details can be found at https://azureiam.com/mim-to-sailpoint
The update comes amid two important lifecycle milestones: Microsoft extended MIM 2016 SP2 support to January 10, 2029, while SharePoint Server 2019, which the MIM Portal requires, reached end of life on July 14, 2026. Together, these milestones give organizations additional context for planning their MIM migration.
Azure IAM notes that many MIM deployments lack original C# or VB rules-extension source files after developers leave and project files become unavailable. Without those files, the MIM Configuration Documenter report can identify where a flow uses a rules extension but cannot show what the compiled code does. The guide describes decompiling assemblies to recover the logic and translating it for IdentityIQ.
Recovered logic is translated into IdentityIQ-compatible BeanShell where the translator can safely handle it; unsupported elements, including loops, exception handling, LINQ, and external service calls, remain marked scaffolds, with reasons recorded for review rather than being presented as completed rules.
Microsoft’s Contoso Pilot sample illustrates why this distinction matters. Two Configuration Documenter reports covering eight management agents generate 86 files, including 18 rules; six are completed, and 12 remain scaffolds because the reports do not contain the compiled rules-extension logic. As the guide explains, reporting all 18 as complete from that input would mean inventing 12 rules.
Beyond rules extensions, the migration covers synchronization rules, attribute precedence, lifecycle workflows, connectors, and Active Directory groups converted into roles. A guided wizard presents unresolved lifecycle decisions with supporting evidence from the reports.
Azure IAM describes a parallel validation run before cutover, during which MIM continues provisioning changes to connected systems while IdentityIQ generates comparable results. Teams review differences before IdentityIQ takes over production provisioning. The firm offers fixed-fee migration based on the existing MIM deployment.

SI is the future of AI – just not in the way Trump thinks
With US President Donald Trump recently pushing the use of “superintelligence” (SI) instead of artificial intelligence (AI) in national discourse, the acronym has gained unprecedented attention.
