Hi Paul

Thanks for the process - I've been able to do that for mapped attributes 
but not for unmapped ones such as the user description attribute as it is 
not listed.

Is it possible to expand step 7 in how to add existing AD attributes using 
powershell to the drop down list as I need to do this for several of them?

Thanks in advance

Drew

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.
 
Regards,

Paul

Subject: Help with AD field import into SP2010
 
Hi Guys/Gals

I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction or the 
location of resources with on how to do the following...

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
