If the attribute(s) are present you can just create a new property and map to it.
1. Open CA and go to the management page of your user profile service application. 2. Click on "Manage User Properties" 3. Click on "New Property" 4. Provide a "Name" and the "Display Name". 5. Select the data type of the property. (This should match the data type of the corresponding attribute in AD you want to map to.) 6. Select the synchronization connection from the "Source Data Connection" drop down. 7. Select your attribute from the "Attribute" drop down. (If it's not there you can create the mapping using PowerShell.) 8. Select the direction of the attribute. (i.e. Import) 9. Click Add 10. Click OK.

In AD we use the description field to identify the team a staff member belongs to. I'm wanting to add this as a custom property in the User properties, but the description attribute is not available from the list of attributes shown in the AD import source data connection. I also have several others AD properties that need to be mapped which do not appear in this list. Is there a way to include additional or all AD attributes rather than the default set that seem to be a reduced set. In SP 2007 this is not an issue as they all appear as part of the selection process. Cheers DrewThe contents of this email and any attachments may be confidential.
