We are using Active directory import and trying to get   the native field of employee ID to populate, the field is present in AD in the Advanced Attributes portion of AD and has been confirmed, I also tried to create a custom field with the exact characters of AD and tried and import but the numbers do not come across, in our organization this is a constant field across all 40+ of our SQL servers and creating custom reports as well as ways to report against employees with that field.

I wanted to know if this a Programing flaw or if there is a work around for this?
