I'm having problems with a custom user property. I set it up as an indexedproperty but I cannot seem to map it to a managed property. I have alreadyinitiated an Index Reset but that doesn't seem to help. Is there something I'mmissing?

You should populate the list item and field with temp data and then performan index reset/full crawl. At that point you should be able to map it to amanaged property. You can also use Powershell to do this instead of theGUI.
I've tried the Index Reset but haven't had any luck. I've also populated datain the user profile. When I go to the properties of the user property, itcomes back saying one profile is using this property so it seems like it'spopulated correctly. Do you have a link for the Powershell process? Maybethat will help.
Problem solved. Even though I had set the user profile property to be visibleto everyone, I had to go in and set the attribute on my profile to visible aswell. Once I ran the Index Reset and full crawl, it showed up.
