Re: ADAM Error: "A referral was returned..."

>From my earlier post. This is what I am trying to achieve. I just want to
load the data and then pull into MIIS.

-------------------------------------------------------
I have AD with following OUs and thousands of users under it.

1) OU=Users and Computers,DC=dc_11,DC=dc_12,DC=CO,DC=UK
2) OU=Users and Computers,DC=dc_21,DC=dc_22,DC=CO,DC=UK
3) OU=Users and Computers,DC=dc_31,DC=dc_32,DC=CO,DC=UK
4) OU=Users and Computers,DC=dc_41,DC=dc_42,DC=CO,DC=UK

Admin has exported the users from above four OUs into four different
..csv(comma delimited) files.
The attributes in the files are,
name, mail, homeMTA, proxy, mailNickName, sAMAccountName, ADSPath.

I have installed ADAM on another development machine. I have to configure
the ADAM with the same OUs as above and import all the users from the four
different .csv files under their corresponding OUs.

I am totally new to AD/ADAM and dont know anything.

Can someone please give me step by step instructions or pointer on creating
the exact OUs structure and importing the users from .csv file.
