More information

To create a mailbox for an Exchange Server user by means of a .csv file, perform the following steps:
  1. Create a .csv file with the following heading:
    Obj-Class,
    Delivery-Mechanism,
    Directory Name,
    Alias Name,
    Home-Server,
    Primary Windows NT Account,
    First Name,
    Last name,
    Display Name,
    Obj-Container
  2. Populate the columns with the appropriate information, for example:
    Mailbox,
    0,
    JohnD,
    JohnD,
    TESTSERVER,
    TESTSERVERDOM\JohnD,
    John,
    Doe,
    JohnDoe,
    /o=Organization/ou=TestSite1/cn=Recipients
    NOTE: The Obj-Class value must be Mailbox and the Delivery-Mechanism value must be 0 to create the mailboxes.
  3. Perform a directory import to import the .csv file into the directory. (If you are creating the Windows NT account when you perform this import, under Account Creation, click to select the Create Windows NT Account check box.)
