Re: Need help with import *.ldf

Ben,

Many thanks......
I think de format of the senderfilter.ldf file is correct.
When ik do a export from that specific server the is generated by it self.
So i cant see whats wrong about the file.
If you have any idee please let me know.
Kind regards,

Addy

Ah - ok. I thought it was just the two.

ADSIEdit forces you to enter them one at a time, so it won't be a good
solution when you have to enter that many, but do take a look at what I said
about the format of the LDIF file - it does need to be set to a changetype
of modify. I also suspect you'd need to have all the old entries in there
as well, though I'm not positive on that - I haven't had a need to add
entries to the turflist, so I don't know if the import needs all the old
entries or not.

Ben,

many thx i try ADSIEdit.
Iám not adding 2 entries but sometimes 100 on one day.

Kind regards,
Addy

I'm anticipating that the problem is that you need to "modify" this
particular attribute, rather than "add" it. You also probably want to
make
sure that your first line isn't improperly wrapping. The error reported
"error on line 2: Object Class Violation". Well, you can't start a line
with "Settings", so that would be part of the problem as well.

If you are just adding 2 entries to the Turflist, why don't you just use
ADSIEdit? Constructing the proper LDIF file for this will take loads
more
time than simply adding the entries. ADSIEdit (if you haven't used it
before) is included in the Windows Support Tools (which is on the CD in
the
/support/tools folder). Navigate to Configuration, Services, Microsoft
Exchange, Your Org Name, Global Settings, Message Delivery, Default
Message
Filter properties, then scroll down until you see the msExchTurfListNames
attribute and add the entries you want.

If you *really* want to use LDIF to import this, look at the link I sent
earlier. The changetype needs to be set to "modify", not "add". There
also
needs to be a "-" at the end of the entry - the site I included earlier
shows you the correct context for modifying a record. I'd just be
careful
with this, though - if you aren't careful, you could completely overwrite
anything that's in there now.

Ben,
thx again for reply.
this is the text in the file;
dn: CN=Default Message Filter,CN=Message Delivery,CN=Global
Settings,CN=INTERLOGICA,CN=Microsoft
Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=interlogica,DC=nl
changetype: add
msExchTurfListNames: *@kentmaster.com
msExchTurfListNames: *@mail.ru
I hope you can see what's going wrong.

Kind regards,
addy

I don't know what's wrong without looking at the ldif file. All I can
say
is that the format of the file itself is probably incorrect.

What does line 2 of your import file contain?

You don't have to specify a filter when you are importing.

Try it again just doing ldifde -i -f senderfilter.ldf

Also, make sure that you have the format of the import file
correct,
otherwise it won't work.

Refer to the following site for ldifde help.
