Can't get Organization Name from AD

Question

Good day,

I have a question with getting user profile data from AD by JavaScript for SharePoint Display Form. I can get user Department by script:

<SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="ScriptLink2" name="SP.UserProfiles.js" runat="server"
    ondemand="false" localizable="false" loadafterui="true" />
…
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
    SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', function () {
       $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.UserProfiles.js", getUserProperties);
    });
…
function getUserProperties() {
        var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
        var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(context);
        personProperties = peopleManager.getMyProperties();
        context.load(personProperties);
        context.executeQueryAsync(onRequestSuccess, onRequestFail);
    }

function onRequestSuccess() {
    console.log(personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()['Department']);
     persDepartment=personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()['Department'];
}
function onRequestFail(sender, args) {
    console.log('Error');
}

I would like to get user organization name (or Employer name) from AD. But persDepartment=personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()[Organization]; didn’t help.

Could you tell me how I can get Organization name?

Would be grateful for info.

You are getting the properties from the User Profile Service Application, not directly from Active Directory.

In order to retrieve a property you will first have to make sure that it is synchronized. Organization is not one of the standard properties that is synced I believe.
