Export Users, then import as Contacts

[mplexo]

Hi,

 

I need to export all users, with email address, from one domain. Then import them as Contacts in another domain. (To show up in the exchange GAL).

 

I was using the command below, to export the users. Using CSVDE.

Is this the correct code, for what I need to do?

 

csvde -f output.csv -d "DC=MyDomain,dc=internal" -r "(&(objectClass=user)(mail=*))" -l "DisplayName,mail"

 

But now I can’t seem to find any way of importing them as contacts.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Martin,

Hi

$use the -i switch for import.

 

Are you talking about two separate AD forests for your domains?

Hi,

 

They are two diffrent domain / forests. In diffrent locations.

 

Once exported, would i need to alter anything, to convert them to contacts, instead of users?

Just wondering if anyone had any more ideas?

Which version of Exchange are you using?

[mplexo]

One Is Exchange 2003, the other Exchange 2010.

 

If both were to be running 2010, would there be there an easier way of doing this?

I assume you have exported the users from Exchange 2003 forest and want to import to the Exchange 2010 forest?

 

If so, I'd download the Quest AD cmdlets and use that to import the CSV file you have.
