RE: Maximum number of email addresses in a single container??
Thanks for your reply. I have not had any problems since making this big container. I did try one foolish thing - I tried to import all these addresses into a single outlook contacts folder. The import was going fine for a few minutes until outlook (2002) exploded (I hope they put me back on the office beta again). When I restarted outlook there were over 29000 addresses in the folder. I then found that there is a 32000ish limit. Seems like outlook should just say Folder Full or something else short of crashing.

RE: Maximum number of email addresses in a single container??
This is completely UN-automated. I manually get the foreign addresses by having a logon onto the parent company exchange network and using a shareware thing called GAL-Exporter (I think it was about $40). GAL exporter can either export individual containers (of which there are way too many to consider doing separately) or the Global list. The exported mailbox info is saved into an Access database file. From Access, I then export the file to a CSV (comma separated variable) file. Before reading this into EXCEL, I first had to split it into two parts because EXCEL can only handle 64000 rows. After reading it into excel, I deleted the columns I did not need, and put the appropriate header line at the top and re-saved it to CSV. I also had to add the string SMTP: to the beginning of each email address (or Target-Address in header-speak). After adding a column of SMTP:'s, I then used a text editor to replace SMTP:, with SMTP: which merged this to the address column. I then used the exchange administrator to import all of these into a single container that I had just created on the server.

I'm interested in hearing what tool you're using to keep the external org addresses in sync -- is the the InterOrg tool? We're in discussions with our parent company about this very task. Thanks!
