>> Hello TR,
>>
>> Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.
>>
>> According to your description, I understand that you would like to export
>> all clients' contacts lists from Outlook and import the all contact files
>> into the Global Address List on the SBS 2003 Server. If I have
>> misunderstood your concern, please don't hesitate to let me know.
>>
>> Based on my research and testing, there is a complex workaround for your
>> reference:
>>
>> To export client's contacts lists from Outlook
>>
>> 1. Open the Outlook, point to File -> Import and Export
>>
>> 2. On the dialog box, select Export to a file, then click Next
>>
>> 3. Select Comma Separated Values (.csv) (Windows) option, then click
Next
>>
>> 4. Select the appropriate Contact node, then click Next
>>
>> 5. Select the appropriate destination to save.
>>
>> Use Csvde To Import all contact files into the Global Address List
>>
>> 1. You must manually edit the all contact files (.csv) with the proper
>> attributes.
>>
>> 2. Use csvde.exe to importcreate the user accounts. To do so, use the
>> following command: "Csvde -i -f import.csv"
>>
>> For more information, please refer the following KB article:
>>
>> 327620 HOW TO: Use Csvde to Import Contacts and User Objects into Active
>> Directory
>> http://support.microsoft.com/?id=327620
>>
>> The following sample CSV file adds a contact for John Doe to the Sales
>> Organizational Unit (OU) in the MYDOMAIN.local domain. This file also
>> creates the necessary Exchange SMTP addresses so that Outlook clients can
>> select this contact from the Exchange 2000 Global Address List.
>>
>> 1. Copy and paste the following text into a plain text editor (such as
>> Notepad), and then save the file with a .csv file extension:
>>
>> DN,instanceType,distinguishedName,objectCategory,objectClass,name,cn,
>> displayName,mail,givenName,legacyExchangeDN,middleName,proxyAddresses,
>> showInAddressBook,sn,textEncodedORAddress,internetEncoding,mailNickname,
>> mAPIRecipient,targetAddress
>> "CN=John Doe,OU=Sales,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=local",4,"CN=John Doe,
>> OU=Sales,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=local","CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,
>> DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=local",contact,John Doe,John Doe,John Doe,
>> John@xxxxxxx,John,/o=MYDOMAIN/ou=first administrative
>> group/cn=Recipients/cn=

>> SMTP:John@xxxxxxx
>>
>>
>> 2. Use a spread*** program (such as Excel) to open this .csv file and
>> view the header and value information.
>>
>> NOTE: The preceding sample text is intended to be saved as a .csv file as
>> an example only. Additional information in this article should be used to
>> modify your own files for importation into the Active Directory.
>>
>> When you modify your own files, remember that the file headers that are
>> included in the preceding example must be present in order for the
contact
>> to import into the Active Directory and be mail-enabled. Some data fields
>> must stay the same for any import, but some data fields must be changed
to
>> import individual contacts.
>>
>> Data for the following headers must be modified to fit the individual
>> importation:
>>
>> - DN - This data field contains the object's distinguished name so that
it
>> can be located in the Active Directory. In the following example John Doe
>> is the contact that will be added to the Sales OU in MYDOMAIN.local:
>> "CN=John Doe,OU=Sales,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=local"
>>
>> - distinguishedName - Contains the same information as DN.
>> - objectCategory - Defines the Active Directory Schema category. In the
>> following example, the category is Person for MYDOMAIN.local:
>> CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=local
>>
>> - name - Contact name.
>> - cn - Same as name.
>> - displayName - Usually the same as name.
>> - mail - SMTP e-mail address.
>> - givenName - Contact's first name.
>> - legacyExchangeDN - Legacy distinguished name for backward
compatibility.
>> In the following example, John Doe is a recipient in the first
>> administrative group of MYDOMAIN:
>> /o=MYDOMAIN/ou=first administrative group/cn=Recipients/cn=John Doe
>>
>> - middleName - Contact's middle name, or initial.
>> - proxyAddresses - SMTP Address and X400 designation.
>> - showInAddressBook - Displays the contact in the Global Address List.
>> - sn - Surname, or last name of the contact.
>> - textEncodedORAddress - Mail attribute.
>> - mailNickname - E-mail alias.
>> - targetAddress - SMTP e-mail address.
>>
>> Data for the following headers stays the same for any import:
>>
>> - instanceType - Exchange instance attribute.
>> - objectClass - Contact.
>> - internetEncoding - Internet encoding type.
>> - mAPIRecipient - FALSE indicates that the contact is not a domain user.
>>
>> NOTE: Use Microsoft Excel Help for information about such functions as
>> "concatenate" that can simplify the process of building a .csv file.
>>
>> Alternatively, you can create a Contacts Public Folder to archive your
>> aim.
