I have to edit Company Name profile property in SSP. It is not allowing me edit or delete property. I need to change length value from 250 to 50. How can I do that? Can we set through code?

Even if you can't delete the property, you should be able to hide it and create another one with the same display name.

There is no global hide option, but there are settings for if/how it displays on the profile/edit details pages. – Tom Clarkson May 06 '10 at 08:35

If you have access to Sharepoint database, you can definitely do it directly there (which I do not recommend unless you're completely sure what you are doing).

I think it should be in table Lists in Content database. As I remember it contains something like 'fields' column, but I don't remember how data is represented there. – Jull May 06 '10 at 03:35

If you access any of the SharePoint databases in another way than via the object model, you will lose MS support for you entire farm. – Flo May 06 '10 at 07:40

Not to mention that an update can mess up your changes, or your change can mess up the update. – KoenVosters May 06 '10 at 15:29

Check if this property is mapped to an Active Directory property. If it is then go to AD manager and change the propertie's properties there :)
