Hello.
I've today begun installing MIM 2016 on a brand new Windows Server 2016 server. I've followed the install instructions specified here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-identity-manager/install-mim-sync
At the very end of Synchronization Service installation, there is a step to backup the encryption key. However, no matter where I attempted to save the key, I always got an error.
“The Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service setup wizard was unable to back up the key set. <hr=0x80131904> … try again?”
This error is also described on page https://idm4real.com/2013/07/31/error-saving-the-fim-sync-key-set/
There it is said that the key can be exported later in the Synchronization Service Key Management tool. However, when I attempt to do so by using either MIMSync or MIMInstall user accounts, I receive another error.
"A required privilege is not held by the client."
I also attempted a repair install of Synchronization Service, that didn't help. Then I uninstalled Synchronization Service, removed the SQL database, rebooted the server and then ran the install again. Once again same issue.
Please assist.
