I went into "Manage User Properties" within the User Profile Service Application. I set the "Office Location" field and mapped it to 'l' within Active Directory. 'l' is used to contain our City (a.k.a. Location). I then ran "Start Profile Synchronization".

General Info: (some of it...) enter image description here

Specific City Location (I'm reusing "Office Location" field)

enter image description here

Then I clicked "Compile Audiences". My end goal is to set up a different Target Audience for each city, but whenever I Compile Audiences, it's always empty.

I don't want to write back to AD, just pull one additional field into SharePoint.

Here's what the MIISClient shows (hiding the actual values):

  • Did you check in User profile, if it importing the City location? check your own profile and see if city location is updated.

  • City location does not appear in my profile. I'm sure the audiences would work after I can get it into my profile, but I don't know the correct steps to get it imported into the profile.

when you map property, then you have to make sure following things.

  1. properly mapped the property
  2. then run full user profile sync followed by incremental sync( as recommended).

You can also check the MIISClient while Sync is running, if new property being imported or not.
