Fix schema validation error message
The schema validation error messages should be updated to include connector names as well as IDs. For example:
20100203,10:43:00,An entity failed validation.,Adapter,Warning,The entity d8569f97-658b-4f4f-8764-9bb9dce3cf0f on connector cb5776a7-948e-456e-bf90-79881424e2eb failed validation 2 times for the following reasons: The field mailType with value WSS is not specified in the schema.; MAIL_TYPE is a required field and is not present.,Normal
Does not include the name of the connector.
Error msg for missing dataConnection node
As some of the demo extensibility files do not contain the dataConnection node, it could be easy to miss this item out when creating the full extensibility file.
Currently only a generic exception is thrown, a better exception may be helpful.
Better reporting of error when attempt to save item to adapter with a null key value.
As originally reported in FINANCE-30, and resolved with that issue, when a item is to be saved, and one of the key values is null, the following error is displayed:

It would be better if an explanation is given instead of a NullReferenceException.
Incorrect display of Identity Broker icon in taskbar - while on 'Combine when taskbar is full'
When the taskbar buttons property is set to 'Combine when taskbar is full' the default shortcut icon appears, instead of the UNIFY Management Studio icon showing.

Unable to create Event Source in Windows Server 2008
Win Event Loggers are unable to create log entries in Windows Server 2008.
This should be resolved as this means start up errors are not able to be logged on services, or Password Reset.

A question about transformations
I've looked at the transformation pages already.
My question is
If you have two tables: People and Roles. There's a one to many relationship ie. a person can have many roles.
Is there a transformation that can return distinct People with a multivalued attribute that contains each Role? I think the answer is no but I'm not 100% certain and I don't want to advise the wrong thing.
Check transformation fields upon start up to avoid getting configuration error during operations
The following occurs if a field is populated twice by transformations:

It is proposed to give a better error message, and upon start-up of Identity Broker, for this error.
Please allow Right-click Copy in Log viewer
Please allow right click, copy in the context menu on the log viewer. Currently without the split screen there is a lot of copying. Further, when providing feedback to the Product Team it is essential to copy the full error message.
Control C works but thats because I'm a keyboard junkie. A lot of young people would prefer a menu option.
Empty string fields cause a DN generator issues when they are used as key generator
When an empty or null string field is used as part of a generated DN for an adapter, they cause a ArgumentOutOfRangeException from the DNGenerators.
Suggestion is to supply a default value for this situation, or supply a better error message (or both).
