Hi all - have several thousand contacts in a Windows 2008 AD with E2K7 that
are missing the LegacyExchangeDN values - now I managed to export all of the
domain and manipulate as such so the csv is ready for the import (only the
LegacyExchangeDn values) but we need to remember that some users have the
LegacyExchangeDN value) so how do I use this tool for the import...sorry but
I am no scripting guru :)

Have you used the ADModify.Net application? It's ideal for modifying
attributes on objects based on the results of an LDAP query.
It can be a lot quicker than ldifde or csvde and has a GUI rather than CLI.

thanks Dunc - will this tool allow me to add the value of the
LegacyExchangeDN attribute?

Yes it will. I have used it in the past when doing exchange migrations etc.
There is a 'Custom' tab which will allow you to specify the attribute you
want to modify.
You can populate the value using text and variables for first name / surname
etc etc.

Just be careful.. It’s a very powerful tool which will make changes to a lot
of objects very quickly!
There is a roll-back feature, so I suggest you test the change on one
object, then test the roll back functionality.

Dunc.
