Export all Contact information into a CSV file to modify, and then import the file for creating the mailboxes in bulk • Export the Contact information into CSV file Csvde –r objectclass=contact –f c:\contact.csv • Export user account’s attribute into another CSV file as reference Csvde –r objectclass=user –f c:\user.csv • Open user.csv file by using Excel, remove unnecessary columns, just remain the following: DN|objectClass|cn|distinguishedName|displayName|homeMTA|proxyAddresses|homeMDB|mDBUseDefaults|mailNickname|name|sAMAccountName|showInAddressBook|legacyExchangeDN|mail|msExchHomeServerName|givenName|userPrincipalName|sn|userAccountControl • Now we copy&paste the contact information from contact.csv into user.csv. For those un-exist columns in the contact.csv, please refer the corresponding values of user object in the user.csv to fill in Notes: Lower down password max length and complexity before importing the file • Import the changed user.csv file Csvde –I –f c:\userchanged.
