SUMMARY
This article describes how to import user profile information of enabled user accounts from Active Directory directory services to Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
You configure import settings for user profiles that you want to import on the Configure Profile Import page of SharePoint Central Administration. SharePoint Portal Server uses the (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)) LDAP search filter and user profile information of all user accounts in Active Directory are imported to SharePoint Portal Server. This filter imports all enabled and disabled user accounts to SharePoint Portal Server.
You can filter the user profile information that you want to import from Active Directory by adding query clauses to the LDAP search filter in the User filter box in the Search Settings area of the Configure Profile Import page. To import user profile information of only user accounts that are enabled, use the (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)( !(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))) LDAP search filter.
