Change the attributes imported from Active Directory:
- From the AMS Admin Console, click System Settings.
- Click User Import. The Available User Attributes screen appears.
- To remove an attribute, so that it is not imported from Active Directory, select the attribute’s check box and click Remove.
- Active Directory contains many attributes, and your organization may also have custom attributes. Note that custom attributes imported by SyncManager are not available for use within Email Continuity, but can be used for integrated AlertFind applications. To add an attribute to the list that SyncManager captures:
- In the search field, type the attribute’s name.
- Select the By Display Name or By Attribute Name radio button.
- Click Search. Results appear in the section below.
- Select the check box and click Add.
