Script contacts creation via csv file (csvde)
Hi, I'm trying to create a csv template to import 60 contacts. I've been looking for the min requirements to accomplish this. I want it to be as simple as it can be so it's not more work than actually handjamming these contacts. So far I have what is listed below. objectClass,displayName,DN,mailNickname,targetAddress,proxyAddresses,msExchPoliciesExcluded,mail contact,Martin Charles A,"CN=Martin Charles A,OU=Contacts,OU=Accounts,DC=Test,DC=Com",CMartin,CMartin@joe.com,###,###,CMartin@joe.com This format makes it a bit of work to get the csv setup easily. As well I'm worried about the 2 fields for "proxyAddresses" and "msExchPoliciesExcluded". Are both of these required? If some one could show me an example I would appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

For a mail enabled contact this is what I've used minimally in the past. dn: CN=jchong,OU=Chicago,DC=company,DC=com changetype: add displayName: jchong mailnickname: jchong targetaddress:jchong@test.com objectclass:contactJames Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Hi Los, Since you seek the solution in the Exchange forum, I would suggest you bulk create contacts using cmdlet, New-MailContact. You can see the example in this thread: Bulk import cmd for "mail contacts" and csv headers? http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrgeneral/thread/9163478f-3178-4b58-a065-86e5c7b52dfe Or I would recommend you seek the solution in the AD forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverDS/threads Frank Wang TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com 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.
