After installing Exchange 2010 i wondered if i could import data from my Access 2007 database where my contacts are store. I had a server breakdown and my backup were all corrupted. So the only way is to manually type all in Exchange contacts or if i could import the data from the database. The database has more then 4.000 contacts.Server is running 2008 R2 and Exchnage 2010. Office is Access 2007.

Powershell is your friend. A Powershell script with the Exchange management shell imported would be able to open a connection to the database file, read the contents and use the EMS cmdlets to create the contacts in Exchange.

You could do this by creating a CSV file and then importing that into a New-Mailcontact command.Example: CSV File: Name,email John Doe,jdoe@mail.com Command: import-csv C:\contact.csv | foreach { New-MailContact -alias $_.name + 'fwd' -Name $_.name -ExternalEmailAddress $_.email -OrganizationalUnit 'EXCH.ORG/Contacts' } SF - MCITP:EMA, MCTS: Exchange 2010, Exchange 2007, MOSS 2007, OCS 2007 -- http://www.scottfeltmann.com
