msExchAssistantName us not exposed in User Profile property mapping

Question

We're trying to map a user profile to msExchAssistantName but it does not appear in the User Profile property mapping. I understand this attribute is added to the 'the schema' by Exchange but how do I expose it to SharePoint?

Hi spadminguy,

I suggest you to create the attribute in AD, then give a synchronization.  Because after my search and my test, it is can’t do it successfully. So, I suggest your recreate the attribute in AD. Hope the following links can help you.

Thanks Jack! Based on the information you provided:

Created a new UP property of type "text" to match AD attribute msExchAssistantName

Using Powershell, I mapped the UP and AD properties in the Profile Service

Thanks again!
