• If you selected the AD to Contact List sync type, then select an Account Name column in the Contacts List used specifically for linking to the user account in AD. This column linking allows User Profile Sync to know the matching user account in the Contacts List to apply any changes made to an AD user account properly. To create this column, see How to Set Up the Account Name Column for Syncing To or From Contacts Lists for more information.
