Hi,

I have several Distribution Lists in Exchange 5.5, which is our existing Mail Server. We are moving to our new Server,which is SBS 2000, and would like know how to import the custom recipients from our existing Server. Thanks.

If the SBS 2000 server does not allow the Active Directory Connector between itself and the Exchange 5.5 server. Then your only choice is to create a LDAP format file and use LDIF Directory Exchange tool to import the information into the SBS 2000 Active Directory. This is similiar concept as to using the CSV files under Exchange 5.5 .

Search Microsoft for information on how to use LDIF Directory Exchange tool. There are several whitepapers on how to use with Exchange 2000.

Good luck.

I would like to know more about the Active Directory Connector. Where do I look in Active Directory to see if it is allowed? Thanks

From what I understand the ADC is supplied with the version of Exchange that you have (it should be in the ADC directory on the CD-ROM) - configuration can be as complicated as you want it to be - from what you say you wish to do it is very straightforward - if the ADC is on the SBS CD drop me a line at my e-mail address and I will explain how to configure it.

I was able to import the custom recipients into Active Directory using the ADC after installing it. However, my Distribution Lists came over as contacts. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Thanks.
