Not allowing to syncronize one of the fields

Question

I have a question concerning syncronization of user profiles with AD. Is it possible to someone how to disable syncronization of all properties from AD, because some fields i dont want to be imported ... How is it possible to do?

And more info: it is a standard propertie "manager", so i cant delete it nor disable ... how to make sure it isnt being filled in on sync ?

Answer 1

I think I have understood your question. Please correct me if I have mistaken.

Before synchronizing user profile properties in AD, you will have to map the properties in AD to the properties in SharePoint user profile. If you do not provide a mapping or remove a mapping, ideally that particular column will not be imported.

Please visit this msdn article where each step to remove the mapping is explained.
