Group membership import
Hi all, I hope you can help on this one as it does" relate to Exchange"
I am currently helping 2 large, non-Exchange departments to migrate onto Exchange 2007 from their Lotus Notes and Domino environments.
1 thing is causing me headaches and apparently the Quest tools cannot help the departments with this.
They have around 500 security groups on Lotus for instance, with various members in them. They have created the corresponding Distribution Security Groups on Exchange using a tool we provided, though the group NAMES have had to change (in order to comply
with naming conventions for our organisation).
Apparently, because the NAMES are not the same, the Quest tool cannot "map" the groups from the 2 seperate environments and so cannot populate the Distribution Group memberships on our AD\Exchange environment. I am puzzled by this but do not use
the tool so am unable to comment much.
However, were I to request all their group names as well as their corresponding members, what tool would be most useful for performing these bulk Membership import tasks? I am investigating whether csvde and ldifde would do it fairly easily, but does anyone
have any comments otherwise (Either on the Quest issue or on alternative ways of doing this).
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Microsoft Transporter Suite is used for the migration from Domino to Exchange
Various groups to migrate:
·
Mailing groups
·
Access groups
·
Multi groups
-------Refer to <Domino
to Exchange 2007 migration>
For the import task, please see if the powershell cmdlet in
this thread helps

You could probably do it with PowerShell.
