AD Mail Enabled Contacts
This utility will create mail-enabled contacts or
mail-enabled user accounts in Active Directory .
Ether a single contact or multiple contacts.
As well it will create them hidden from the
address book.

Immediate Uses
- Creating a single mail enabled contact
or user with just a few pieces of
info (with or without a password)
- Creating multiple mail enabled contacts or
users from a list in just a few
seconds. (Same password for each user or the
program will create a random password for each one.)
- Very useful in domain integrations, find out
how in the article "mergers, acquisitions and integrations". (coming soon)
Note the Mail Password
function is not enabled yet, this will be in the next version.
Instructions
- So fire up the program (it may take a few seconds if you are dialed
in to your network because it gathers some domain info so you wont have
to enter it.)
- Enter the contacts info (you can leave the description blank).
- Click "Create"
- If you want to create multiple contacts then check the "Create Multiple
Contacts" box.
- Click on the "locate list of contacts to use" button and locate
the list.
- The list needs to be in a csv file format. It can have any extension
as long as the format is as follows:
- firstname,lastname,description,email-address
- You can leave the description field blank but you must have
the commas there denoting it, i.e. "firstname,lastname,,email-address"
- Click "Create"
- All contacts will be created in the "Users" container of your domain
root. You can move them to the OU you want when your finished.
- Remember; when entering your
"OU name' that the naming convention is as follows: for default OU's
(the ones AD creates) the path is CN=whatever. For OU's that you
create it is OU=whatever.
- also if your OU path is buried in a
sub-container you can enter the path as follows:
- OU=mycontainer,CN=Users
- OU=mycontainer,OU=myothercontainer
**Please remember you must be a
"local admin"
or a member of the "local admins" group on the
system you are running the tools from.
