Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ???
I have a test server that I am trying to create a bunch of mailboxes (user1, user2, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in order to do some benchmarking on the server. All I want to do is create mailboxes with unique email addresses (which requires an accompanying AD user account I believe) and I would like to also give them some default password if possible. I have been experimenting with CSVDE but so far I have only created disabled accounts which have no exchange mailbox. Does anyone know what the minimum amount of info I can put in the CSV file to accomplish this?

Re: Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ???
There may be a way via scripting but have found that there are many 3rd party apps. that do this very easily. the tough part was importing the password itself. The 3rd party apps. let you use csv files. But maybe someone else has done this. - Original Message - From: "Alverson, Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 2:48 PM Subject: Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ??? > I have a test server that I am trying to create a bunch of mailboxes (user1, > user2, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in order to do some benchmarking on the server.

this has worked for me in the past. They are still disabled and lack password, but that's how CSVDE works.

Bulk add from Excel... www.cdolive.com or spend a few minutes modifying the create user enabled mailbox object at www.swinc.com.

You can't do it with a csv unless you also write the script that reads the csv. I know I have a script around here somewhere that does it. There's one on our web site that will create a single mailbox. easy to modify for lots. I'll see if I can dig up the one that does lots and post that too. (http://www.swinc.com/resource/scripts.htm) All my scripts use perl instead of VB. There are VB samples around too on MSDN and the Comp^h^h^h^hHP ActiveAnswers web site (actually a good little set of scripts is available there). === Andy Webb[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.

RE: Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ???
Thanks for all the help! I got the users created with CSVDE. They start life with no passwords and "password must be changed at next logon" checked. I found an easy way to set all the passwords the same. I downloaded a 30 day eval of "Hyena" which let me select all the test accounts and uncheck the "next logon" box in one operation. It also let me set all the passwords at once (all to the same password). Thanks again for all the help.

You can't do it with a csv unless you also write the script that reads the csv. I know I have a script around here somewhere that does it. There's one on our web site that will create a single mailbox. easy to modify for lots. I'll see if I can dig up the one that does lots and post that too. (http://www.swinc.com/resource/scripts.htm) All my scripts use perl instead of VB. There are VB samples around too on MSDN and the Comp^h^h^h^hHP ActiveAnswers web site (actually a good little set of scripts is available there). === Andy Webb[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.

Subject: Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ??? I have a test server that I am trying to create a bunch of mailboxes (user1, user2, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in order to do some benchmarking on the server. All I want to do is create mailboxes with unique email addresses (which requires an accompanying AD user account I believe) and I would like to also give them some default password if possible. I have been experimenting with CSVDE but so far I have only created disabled accounts which have no exchange mailbox. Does anyone know what the minimum amount of info I can put in the CSV file to accomplish this?
