Re: Batch importing into Active Directory

Steve, this is a little late in response but I would recommend you use
the csvde command to extract an existing contact as a csv, modify it and
then use the same command to import it back.  I have not used csvde but
I do use ldfde to import contacts from ldif files for exchange 2003
fairly often for ad-hoc needs (ldif as I also use ldapmodify from
osx/linux).  There are also quite a few examples for using vbscript to
automate the management of contacts.

Subject: [SECURITY] Batch importing into Active Directory

 

Is there a way (i.e. CSV file) to batch create contacts (with external
email addresses) in Active Directory?

We are trying to determine the best way to forward student email from
Exchange 2003 to  MS Live@edu.

 

Thanks for any information you can provide.
