Just a heads up that I’m presenting a topic at the Brisbane SharePoint Users Group (Day Session) on Wednesday November 12th. at Microsoft Brisbane (Level 9 waterfront place).
My topic is:
Profile Import process with the BDC
How to configure the BDC to combine external data from a SQL Server database with the imported Active Directory accounts. This will include setting up the user's profile page to include this custom data and adding custom metadata property mappings to expose these properties via the people search.
