1) without a target to put it in, it would either have to rely on the contents 
of the csv file else fail. IIRC, import requires the target be in the file.  
2) Export is copy only.  You can export away and not change anything. 
Performance can be impacted, so it's not "free" but it can be done with any 
user credentials for the most part. 
 
Personally I prefer script to csvde, but that's me.  Note that you can log 
CSVDE transactions which will help to troubleshoot the syntax issues you'll run 
into.

Subject: [ActiveDir] csvde Import in AD



I am attempting to import Notes contacts into Exchange. Without
involving the complexity and maintenance of a Notes connector for this
one time import, it appears as though Microsoft believes csvde is the
best bet.

So, based on the limited csvde help (from csvde /?) I am left with
several crtical questions:

1) When csvde -i -f c:\filename.csv is run, where in AD will the
contacts be imported when the OU is not specified in the command?

2) When an export is performed, is AD modified or is it a simple copy?

I do not have a test environment available to me this morning, and I
am running out of time, so any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,

...D
