To remove an import connection

Use this procedure to remove an import connection.

Remove an import connection

  1. Open the administration page for the SSP, as follows:

    1. On the top link bar, click the Application Management tab.

    2. On the Application Management page, in the Office SharePoint Server Shared Services section, click Create or configure this farm's shared services.

    3. On the Manage this Farm's Shared Services page, there is a link to each SSP and links to the Web applications for each SSP. Click the link for the SSP that you want to open.

    You can also access the SSP by clicking the link to the Shared Services Administration home page in the Shared Services Administration section of Quick Launch.

  2. On the SSP home page, in the User Profiles and My Sites section, click User profiles and properties.

  3. On the User Profiles and Properties page, in the Profile and Import Settings section, click View import connections.

  4. On the View Import Connections page, click the import connection that you want to remove and then click Delete from the menu.

  5. On the confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK.

Additional considerations

To add connections to directory services, administrators must have access to the Shared Services Administration site, and must have the Manage user profiles permission enabled. Users with access to the administration site but without the Manage user profiles permission enabled can view the SSP administration home page, but cannot access the User Profiles and Properties page.

In a single-click installation, the account used to install Office SharePoint Server 2007 has the following permissions enabled: Manage user profiles and Manage permissions. The installation account also has access to the Shared Services Administration site.

In an advanced farm installation, the user installing Office SharePoint Server 2007 selects an account to have these management permissions. This account can be used to add the Manage user profiles permission to users and groups responsible for administering user profiles and connections to directory services.
