Edit existing Profile Properties in sharepoint?

I have to edit Company Name profile property in SSP. It is not allowing开发者_开发知识库 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.

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).

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 :)
