RE: [ActiveDir] Importing Directory Information

[Jerry Welch]

Mario,

As you can see by the responses there are several ways to address this problem.  Utilities and scripting are two.  Another alternative that you may want to consider is SimpleSync from CPS Systems.  With it you can fully automate the process of updating AD from 5.5.  It uses LDAP to read from one, then LDAP to directly update the other.  No scripting, no new directory, no SQL server.  Over 185 major companies worldwide run it on a daily basis.  You can use it to sync between any combination of AD Forest (unlimited), 5.5 Organizations, iPlanet, Notes/Domino, OpenLDAP and others.  Cost for a 2 directory sync is $9,985.  $1K more for additional directories, regardless of size.

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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a web demo using GoToMyPC or TightVNC.

Thank you for your time,

OK here is currently what might help.

 

1.  The file importing into Exchange 5.5 right now is in CSV format.

2.  The information that will be loaded is the Address(Company), Phone Number, Manager Information, Title, etc.

 

Thanks in advance.

Mario.

What format is the data in now?

 

There's really two basic options to update (modify) existing records: LDIFDE and script/programming.  Of the two, scripting is the easiest by far since ldif format is not syntax friendly.

 

There are many examples on the web, including Microsoft's site http://www.microsoft.com/library/shared/deeptree/asp/rightframe.asp?

I am trying to figure out a way to import data into AD that will update the address book information.  Does anyone have a good reference on how to do this?

 

Any help would be appreciated it.

 

Thanks,

Mario
