HELP: Exporting custom receipients from Exch 5.5 - Importing to Exch 2000

| Hi,
I need to export some custom recipients from 5.5 (Which I have already
done), and import to an Exchange 2000 server.
I have found 1/2 dozen articles that claim to explain how to do this, but
either I'm really dense or none of these articles are complete.
How do I get my .csv file in the proper format to use the csvde util?
The problem I see is that the file is comma delimited, but the column for DN
has data that contains commas. So the csvde import is getting confused.
I have see a few articles that recklessly attempt to explain how to
concatenate these columns, but they've written the article as if the reader
already knows how to do it.
I'm frustrated. If anyone can explain this process in moron terms for me, I
would greatly appreciate it.
Please don't just forward a Microsoft article. I've been through them and
I'm not getting it.
Thanks!
Kevin

When using csvde to import data into an attribute that already has commas in
it, enclose the data in double quotes (" "). So, for the DN:
CN=Bob Smith, DC=MyDomain, DC=com would be
"CN=Bob Smith, DC=MyDomain, DC=com"

| Who gives shit, Murphy? Some of us use this group to help others and get
help. I think there are other news groups for building up your Self-Esteem.
Thanks Brian! I'll give this a try.

As a matter of fact, no, I didn't get it from that particular KB article,
although it's a good reference. I pulled it off the top of my head. Besides,
that particular article uses mydomal.local :-)

| SimpleSync 2002-12-20, 9:23 am |
| This has been a very interesting discussion - so wanted to add SimpleSync as
an option to process directory information between any of the Exchange
directories, or Netscape, Novell, Notes, et al.
You can use LDAP, LDIF, ODBC/CSV files to/from any combination of
directories. Easy to install, configure, and then set up under NT
scheduling to run automatically. You can filter by container or by object
attributes. You can easily configure what attributes to synchronize.
For more information and to download an evaluation copy of SimpleSync,
please visit www.cps-systems.com .
If you would prefer to see SimpleSync 'live', please contact me at
sales@cps-systems.com for a web demo using GoToMyPC.
Thank you for your time,
Jerry Welch
