I need to make a change to many individual mail boxes on an Exchange 2000 server running AD in native mode.(e.g. remove an email address from 250 mailboxes)
In Exchange 5.5 we could export the list into Excel, make changes and import them back.
It appears that this task is much more difficult in a 2000 environment.
Exporting the list is easy enough but it is the importing after changes have been made in Excel that seems to be the problem.
Does anyone know of a utility that will allow me to do the import.
Many thanks

Hiya - if you don't wish to purchase a tool, you could use ldfide.exe, there are a few articles in the knowledge base that will help you with this.
However if you have some money to spend - and excellent tool for mass modifying common AD attibutes is Quest Software's Active Roles.
If you are modifying e-mail addresses, why not use the recipient policies?
