I read in KB 23877 about how to export the GAL to a contact folder. Basically I am exporting my Windows 2003 GAL with email addresses and importing them to a Exchange 2007 Public folder that is located in another domain in my company. We are using an Exchange 2003 server. The conatacts show up but under the user's email information none of the exported email addresses are there. Has anyone tried this before and had he same issue?

I was using "LDAP" base tool like "CSVDE": Example: csvde -r "(objectClass=user)" -d "ou=test ou,dc=domain,dc=com" -l displayName,proxyAddresses -f c:\users.csv then imported the cvs to a contact folder of a test account, and move it to a public folder. it worked for me.

I am not too familiar with csvde, how would I import it into a contact?

Thanks Ed but I am not looking to purchase any software for this issue.

When you do the export (yes, CSVDE - You can google that or go to computerperformance.co.uk) you will see the headings. Then you go to Outlook on the other domain and import that CSV. It's up to you whether you clean up the CSV before you do the import or re-map the headings at the time of the import. "mykul" wrote in message news:632e0ba7-3b25-44a3-b342-5dee3bad4351...

What KB article are you referring to? 23877?? Can you paste that link here? Are you mail enabling PF from the import file?

How to use Csvde to import contacts and user objects into Active Directory http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327620 Using CSVDE and LDIFDE to Export Information from Active Directory Snapshots in Windows Server 2008 http://www.petri.co.il/using-csvde-ldifde-export-active-directory-snapshots-windows-server-2008.htm Regards, Xiu

I will take a look at the two links and see if that gives me the results I am looking for.

This doesn't pull the info I need. It pulls the DN info and proxyemail address which shows all the addresses. I am looking for firstname, lastname, primary email address, job title and work phone number.
