Before you perform this procedure, confirm that:

  • You have read the topic Import user profiles.

  • Your system is running either the Standard or Enterprise version of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

    Important

    Administrators must have access to the Shared Services Provider (SSP) administration site, and must have the Manage User Profiles permission enabled to complete this procedure.

You can add individual user profiles that are not included in your import connections. You can select any user or group available in the Select People dialog box (also known as the People Picker), which can include users in other domains or forests. The People Picker includes all users and groups in trusted forests that are accessible by the application pool account for the current Web application. The Stsadm command-line tool can be used to make more users and groups available. For more information, see Select users from multiple forest domains.
