Profile import problem from ADS   
Hi,

We have configured Commerce Server to pull profile data from an Active 
directory service. The job runs fine and pull all the users in the ADS. But 
when we check the values, CS sets some values from another user to a 
different user if its value is not set. Let me explain it in bit more detail

We have two ADS: one internal and one external.

The internal ADS has all the internal user information directly under 
CN=Users

The external ADS has users information in a container called 
OU=ExternalUsers. There are three sub-containers under ExternalUsers i.e 
OU=SelfRegistered; OU=CustomerCenter; OU=HRExtranet. The external users are 
divided into these broad categories. There are some User properties like 
Corporate_Group_Id which are set only for CustomerCenter users.

The profile has been set by creating two partitions: one for internal and 
other for External users with parent URL set to CN=Users and 
OU=ExternalUsers respectively. When we try importing the profile data, it 
pulls correct information such a first name, last name, userid etc and the 
total no of users. But some custom properties like Corporate_Group_Id is 
pulled wrongly. It is showing corporate group ids for other type of users 
including internal users (when in reality it is not there). We also tried by 
creating seperate partitions for each of the ExternalUsers' sub-containers. 
It still didnt work properly.

If we create a seperate profile data source for each of the sub containers, 
the import works fine. So are we missing anything or is that the way its 
supposed to work?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Navin

\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 Importing from ADS is outside of my experience.  You may have to open a service call with PSS to get more details.
