Migrating Active Directory Contacts

Curiosityx · 30 Oct 2007 at 13:36

Greetings, recently i performed a migration from SBS 2003 - SBS 2003. Unfortunately it didn't migrate the active directory contacts.

Does anyone know if this is possible using the ADMT wizard?

Cheers

Isn't that part of the Exchange Migration Wizard process?

It's a bit of a grey area, Contacts are active directory objects and dont come under the exchange migration process as far as i know.

If they were Contacts located in users mailboxes then yes it would come under exchange.

I did a 2003 server migration last weekend. I couldn't find a way of doing it either. In the end I just created them all manually again on the new domain. Luckily I only had 20-30.

Have managed to find a way around the problem and it's relatively painless, ended up using the LDIFDE utility to export and import, tried it in a virtual machine which worked a treat and has successfully moved the contacts too the new domain without any after effects.
