I am having contacts in my outlook. Want to move those contacts to GAL, so that other users can use them. But don't want to enable the mailboxes.

Hi rajamdurai, You have to create a AD contact for every Outlook contact and I dont know if you realy want this. You can do it with import/export: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327620/en-us I would suggest to use public folder contacts - this should be the best way to share your contacts: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/mf018.html Viele Grüße Christian Please remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer"; if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi rajamdurai, You also can follow this way to do that: <1> Use Outlook export (all the Outlook contacts) to one CSV file (let's call OutlookContact.csv) <2> use this command to create the mail contacts in Exchange 2010: Import-csv "C:\OutlookContact.csv"| Foreach{New-MailContact -Name $_.'E-mail Display Name' -ExternalEmailAddress $_.'E-mail Address'} Note:If you also need add other information for the contacts, you can use set-Mailcontact and set-contact to do that. Here are some related documents for you: New-MailContact http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124519.aspx Set-MailContact http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995950.aspx Set-Contact http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124535.aspx Thanks, EvanEvan Liu TechNet Community Support
