ASK THE EXPERT, PAUL HINSBERG
Defining a DN attribute manually
Dear Paul:
How can I copy users from a non-AD Windows 2000 server to Active Directory on another Windows 2000 server? I exported the users on the original Windows 2000 server to a .csv file, but when using csvde.exe on the Active Directory server, it says the DN Attribute is not defined. Can I define it manually? If so, how?

Corpse called in coffin
![]()
Most people don't think twice when they hear another person's cell phone ring. Unless maybe it's during a movie. Or church. Or if the cellular shriek comes from inside a closed coffin. The latter instance actually happened in Belgium. The deceased got a call -- evidently from someone who hadn't gotten the bad news -- while his surviving loved ones were gathered around the casket. The family is hopping mad; they want charges filed against the undertaker for not taking the phone out of the dead man's pockets.
