Bulk Distribution Groups
I have over 200 distribution groups to create within a Exchange 2007 organization.
I have read some examples on the forums like this one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvrgeneral/thread/0f86bb8a-63a2-44e5-921f-4a227221e71d
but I am still a little confused.
Can someone give me a example of what a csv file should look like with my example below.
Group Name = Group 1234
Type = Global Distribuiton
Primary SMTP = group1234@domain.com
Members = member1,member2,member3,member4
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
For this issue, you can use this command to achieve the goal:
Note: I create a csv file named group1234, it saved at path “c:\group1234.csv”
The members (in CSV file)are saved by this way:
Name
member1
member2
member3
member4
===================================================================
The command is :
[PS] C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>import-csv -Path "c:\group1234.csv" | Foreach-object {add-distributiongroupmember -identity "group1234" -member $_.Name}
