Hi Joe,
Yes, I tested it on my SBS 2003 test machine and it works fine.
To narrow down the root cause of this issue, please do the following tests:
1. Create a file named C:\test.csv
2. Use NotePad to open this file.
3. Please copy and past the following content into the NotePad.
DN,objectClass,cn
"CN=testcommonname,CN=Users,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL",contact,testcommonname
[Note 1:] Please make sure that you've used the quotation marks to included
the DN.
[Note 2:] Please change the DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL to your domain's DN.
[Note 3:] Please refer to KB 327620 I mentioned in the previous reply. To
import a contact, there should be at least DN, objectClass and CN entries.
[Note 4:] If you're using Microsoft Excel to modify the .csv file, please
click "Yes" when Excel prompts "test.csv may contain features that are not
compatible with CSV (Comma delimited). Do you want to keep the workbook in
this format?)".
4. Save the file.
5. Click Start and click Run.
6. Type cmd and click OK.
7. In the CMD prompt, please key in the following command and press Enter.
Csvde -i -f c:\test.csv
8. Make sure that the command succeeded.
9. Click Start and click Run.
10. Type dsa.msc and click OK.
11. Under "Users" container, please check whether the testcommonname
contact has been created.
If the above steps succeeded, the Csvde command works fine and the problem
should be your .csv file. If you would, please double-check it against KB
281563.
XGEN: Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Attribute Mappings for the
Migration Wizard
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;281563
If the problem persists, please post the content of your .csv file to the
newsgroup with the error message when you run the csvde command; then, I
will analyze them.
Have a nice day!
