RE: Distribution Lists

Hi Zuke,

Thank you for posting here!

Here I would like to confirm which format the email addresses is stored on
the website. Is it a table that stores such information?

Based on my knowledge and research, I'm afraid that there is no build-in
feature on Exchange Server for us to directly import the email address
information from a website into a distribution group in Active Directory
(AD). If the email address and username are stored in a table on the
website, you may consider using the following method to achieve this goal:

1. Copy and save the email address and username information into a
work*** in Excel.

2. Save the work*** as a .csv (comma separated file) file.

3. Here I would like to introduce a tool called CSVDE.exe which is included
in Windows 2000/2003 Server. This tool can help you bulk import contacts
into Active Directory from a custom .csv file. To import the .csv file into
Active Directory, you can refer to the detailed steps documented in the
following Microsoft KB article.

HOW TO: Use Csvde to Import Contacts and User Objects into Active
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=327620

Based on my tests, for example, if you want to import a contact named
test_contact into AD, the columns and their values are similar to the
followings:

objectClass,DN,displayName,targetAddress,mailNickName
contact,"CN=test_contact,CN=<OU
name>,DC=domainname,DC=com",test_contact,SMTP:test_contact@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,te
st_contact

4. Then we can create a distribution group and add these contacts as
members of it.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If anything in my post is unclear, feel free to let me know.

Have a good day!

Thanks & regards,
