[GIS] Keeping attribute data when exporting KML to feature class

arcgis-10.0datagoogle earthkml

I am working on updating kml files into an mxd. I am able to use the conversion tool to change each KML to a layer file, but I am unable to keep the original kml attribute data. When I export point files, it exports as one single point instead of multiple points which does not make sense to me.

Is there a way convert KML/KMZs to a feature class and keep all of the original data?

You could use the Convert GPS Files to Shapefiles toolbox. Also, if you have ArcView 3.3 you could use the KML to SHP script.
