We are using Exchange 5.5 in our 2003 AD Infrastructure. What I need to do
is populate AD user accounts (existing) with the information already entered
for each users mailbox (i.e. Dept., Title, phone number, etc..) I have tried
the directory export feature in Exchange Admin but it does not gather that
information. I tried using csvde.exe but it returns "no entries found". Is
there some other method that can be used? Does csvde.exe not work on Exch
5.5 because it's LDAP is X.400 instead of X.500? I did specify the base DN
when running csvde
/o=ORG/ou=SITENAME/cn=Recipients In either instance w/ or w/out the DN
csvde reported "no entries found".
We are going to be upgrading to Exchange 2003 in several weeks. I think my
best bet is to wait until then to try this process. Unless anyone knows how
to do this, I would be greatful, thanks!

This is exactly what the Active Directory Connector is for. How have
you got your connection agreements configured?

We don't! We are a part of a merger. When the ADC was setup it populated
only the email address in the user account, but not the right email address.
We had to turn it off and fix each users account. It did use the domain name
but our email addresses are not configured with the domain name AD is running
under. For Example: Siemens-vdo.com is the actual domain name. Email
addresses would then be configured as siemens.com, this is how we have our
organization setup.

So aside from the ADC is there a way to do this? We are going to Exchange
2003 and I am trying to use the information already populated in Exchange
5.5. Can I extract that information and Import it into AD. Once we go to
Exchange 2003 the users phone number, dept., tittle, etc... will have to be
manually entered. I want to avoid that at all costs. We get paid good, but
I don't know if it's that good :)
