BHOLD Model Generator Installation
Applies To: Forefront Identity Manager 2010
By using the BHOLD Model Generator module, you can structure data from authoritative sources that contains user and organizational information along with access control lists (ACLs) into a model that can be used in administering BHOLD.
BHOLD Model Generator installation requirements
Before installing the BHOLD Model Generator module, you must install the following:
BHOLD Core module on the server on which you plan to install the BHOLD Model Generator module. For information about installing the BHOLD Core module, see BHOLD Core Installation.
The Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Jet must be installed. For more information see this article.
Warning
Do not install BHOLD Model Generator in your production network. BHOLD Model Generator is intended to be used offline in a staging environment to create a normalized role model that you can import into your enterprise role model. Running BHOLD Model Generator in your production network can result in loss of your existing role model.
For more information about general requirements for installing BHOLD Suite SP1, see Microsoft BHOLD Suite SP1 Installation Guide.

BHOLD Model Generator setup
To install the BHOLD Model Generator module, log on as a member of the Domain Admins group, download the following file and run it as administrator on the server that you intend to install the BHOLD Core module on:
- BholdModelGenerator <Version>_Release.msi
Replace <Version> with the version number of the BHOLD Model Generator release that you are installing.
To run the program file as an administrator, right-click the file and then click Run as administrator.
Next steps
After installing the BHOLD Model Generator module, you must prepare either a three- or five-file set of input files that provide the information that this tool uses to construct your role model. For information about how to structure these files, see Microsoft BHOLD Suite Technical Reference.
When the files are ready to be imported, log on by using the account that you used to install the BHOLD Model Generator module, and then use the BHOLD Model Generator portal to import the files. The BHOLD Model Generator portal provides a wizard that steps you through the process of creating a role model by using the information in the input files.
