Exchange 2007 Global Address book from CSV

[benIT]

Hello,

 

I have Exchange 2007 installed on a server.

 

The Global Address book populated from AD is fine for internal users and contacts in AD.

 

I have a CSV File with lots of external contacts names / email addresses that all staff use / need access to.

 

Can this be imported into a new global address book called external contacts?

 

I know i could set them up as contacts in ad, but i dont want a new user for each contact!! - Any ideas ???????????????

 

thanks in advance!!!

Public folders are seen as "old-fashioned" but are still there in 2007 and this is a good way of providing contacts to everyone (or a particular group of people) and it's easy to fill a public folder from a CSV file.
