How to Use PowerShell to Export all MPRs into a Gridview (or Excel) for Documentation

How to Use PowerShell to Export all MPRs into a Gridview (or Excel) for Documentation

FIM ScriptBox Item

Summary

This powershell script was designed to query for all MPR's and place them in the Powershell GridView to easily search on things such as Workflows by name.
It was designed to easily document existing MPR's and to import them into Excel for Grouping and documentation.

I wrote the script with the intention of using the Quest FIM Powershell Snapin and only works with that snapin.
The script can be modified (such as the multivalue delimiters) to suite your needs
The only required change is to line 9 to point to your FIM Web Service \ Load Balancer.

Just a side note, I'm not much of a Powershell / scripting guy, so I apologize in advance for any bad coding practices :)

#About this script:
#This script is used to export out all Management Policy Rules as displayed in the portal.
#It will translate all References into DisplayName strings.
#In order for this to work, an account must be used that has rights to read all MPRS and Sets, and potentially users.
#This specific version of the script was written to use the Quest FIM Powershell Snapin

#Configuration Parameters and global variables:
$server = "fimservice:5725" ####Important this should be changed to point to the FIM Web Services or load balancer
$cred  = get-credential ####Set the credential to be used to query the webservice
$mpr_attributes = @("ActionParameter","ActionType","ActionWorkflowDefinition","AuthenticationWorkflowDefinition","AuthorizationWorkflowDefinition",
"Disabled","DisplayName","GrantRight","ManagementPolicyRuleType","MVObjectID","ObjectID","PrincipalSet",
"PrincipalRelativeToResource","ResourceCurrentSet","ResourceFinalSet")
