GroupID 8-Synchronize
Summary
I am using GroupID Synchronize module to Sync my user’s telephone number to Active Directory’s telephoneNumber attribute. But in the Select Destination Fields page, I am not able to see that. Not sure what’s wrong here? Do you have a friendly name of that attribute in this window?
More Information
GroupID Synchronize detects the schema of Active Directory. Clicking on the Advanced button of Select Provider page, you will see the list of Active Directory attributes and their friendly display names vs their actual Display Names. You can sort the Display Name and Field Name columns by clicking on Column Name to locate the attribute. 
The Settings tab displays the connections settings in key-value pairs. The Key column displays the setting name and the Value column its current value. Double-click a value to modify it 
Schema settings allow you to modify the Display and Field names of the selected source or destination provider. You can also save your schema settings to an XML file, which you can use to import the schema for providers in other jobs that you define.

Once you are aware of the attributes present in Synchronize, you will be able to find any attributes’ friendly name in Advanced Connection Properties dialog box. In our case, telephoneNumber attribute is displayed as Office Phone in the All Fields list.
