that was a good help, however i ran into another block. it will not let me modify an existing entry, in LDIFDE you can specify changetype. can you do that in CSVDE which is the application i prefer.

You would need to script this.

First off make sure all of the addresses are unique. Once you know that is true then add the value to the proxyAddresses attribute of the user objects. You will want to prefix the value with "smtp:" and case is important. So if you wanted to add, for instance, SomeNewEmail@xxxxxxxxxx to a user as secondary, you would actually add

smtp:SomeNewEmail@xxxxxxxxxx

to the proxyAddresses attribute of that user.

Is there a way to import a second smtp address into AD for a large amount of users? Our standard address reads first.last@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . I’ve been asked to add a second address that is 20characters@xxxxxxxxxxxx the 20 characters are random and have no relevance to the user’s name. The list of address’ was given to me from another administrator in .csv format (column A= first and last, column B= new address) so I thought it my possible to import it. Can anyone help?
