Bulk mail enable contact imported into Exchange 2003 from domino

A customer is using an import file to get users from Domino into Exchange
2003/AD 2003 as contacts. But are not mail enabled.

Any idea how to change this behavior and how can they bulk mail enable the
contacts?


Created by domino dump with specific fields to a csv file.

Import CSVDE import.

In Exchange 2007 the import worked with a field called show in address book
populated.

The same field did not work in the Exchange 2003.

If a single user is right clicked and the Exchange tasks are selected there
is an option Establish Email address. This works great for a single contact
at a time, the problem is there are a few thousand. But if we select more
than one user at a time the Establish Email address is not an option.

How can I bulk Establish Email address for imported contacts?

I asked the customer to download ADMODIFY.net and see Establish Email
Address is an option there.

You need to import all the attributes that make an object mail-enabled.
There's a TechNet article on that, but be aware that there are a lot of
them. When scripting, one uses the "MailEnable" method, and that takes care
of setting all the attributes, which you can change later. I know that
doesn't help with CSVDE, but I thought it might add a little background.

Thanks Ed. Do you have a link to the article on scripting instead of CSVDE?
There is an MCS on site with the customer who could probably write the script
for them if he had the article.

There are lots of articles, and no one of them is a Rosetta Stone, sorry.
