I currently have the task of creating serveral hundred contacts within MS exchange 2003. I know with the Active directory commands I coulod easily create the contacts them selves (just user name and e-mails) but I am wondering if there is a command line that I could run to execute the "Exchange task" to establish a e-mail account.
