Import a Specific Active Directory Group User Profiles

Sometimes we want SharePoint to import only the user profiles of those user that belong to one specific Active Directory group. In this case we have to modify the import connection query expression in Shared Services Provider.

In this case we want all the users of the group Employees (in Groups OU) of the contoso.com domain to be imported:

(&(objectCategory=Person)(ObjectClass=*)(memberOf=CN=Employees,OU=Groups,DC=contoso,DC=com)
