Re: New Email Distribution List Creation

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

These would need to be created as contacts, yes.

Hi Laura, I failed to mention none of the email addressess are part of our
domain. Can this still be done with a third party tool, or will I need to
create AD contacts for each address, then add them to the DL?

Use dsmod (from the Windows Support Tools) or adfind (from

dsmod group "CN=US INFO,OU=Distribution
Lists,DC=microsoft,DC=com" -addmbr
"cn=User1,dc=domain,dc=com" "cn=user2,dc=domain,dc=com"

or

admod -b "CN=US INFO,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=microsoft,DC=com"
"member:++:cn=User1,dc=domain,dc=com;cn=user2,dc=domain,dc=com"

The Technet Script Repository probably also has a VBScript solution as
well.
(Just google those three words, you'll go right to it.)

I have Exchange 2003 on Server 2003, and I need to create a new email
distribution list in AD for our company news letter. I have at least
200
addressess that will need to be made members of this DL. I have all
the
addressess in a word document. Is there a way to easily import these
addressess into the DL, or do I have to type in each one by hand?
