hi i am trying to add multiple contacs from a csv file which also contain x500 addresses using powerhell, i can add the contacs with the email address but not the x500 same time. the code i used to add multiple contacts is below. can you advice how to add the x500 at the same time please using a csv file. I am running exchange 2007 sp1 with rollup update 9. code below works to add contacs without the x500 address. Add-Content c:\debug.txt "::Starting Import: "; $err = ""; Import-Csv Contacts.csv | ForEach-Object{ New-MailContact -DomainController dc01.fty.com -Name $_."displayName" -Firstname $_."FirstName" -Lastname $_."LastName" -ExternalEmailAddress $_."E-mail Address" -OrganizationalUnit "fty.com/tst" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable +err | Set-Contact -DomainController dc01.fty.com -City $_."Business City" -Company $_."Company" -Office $_."Office" -DisplayName $_."displayName" -Fax $_."Business Fax" -Name $_."displayName" -Phone $_."Business Phone" -PostalCode $_."Business Postal Code" -StateOrProvince $_."Business State" -StreetAddress $_."Business Street" -Title $_."Title" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable +err; Set-MailContact -Identity $_."displayName" -DomainController dc01.fty.com -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable +err;}Add-Content c:\debug.txt $err;

Hi Henock An X500 address forms part of the proxyAddresses multi-valued attribute. Here's some sample powershell 1.0 code to modify a multi-valued attribute: #constant $ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND = 3 #variables $attname = "proxyAddresses" $attvalue = "X500:/O=fabrikam/OU=northamerica/cn=Recipients/cn=user1" $ADObj = "CN=user1,dc=fabrikam,dc=com" #working $scp = [ADSI]"LDAP://$ADObj" $scp.putEx($ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND,$attname,@("$attvalue")) $scp.setInfo() #finished You could combine this with a script to import contacts such as the one shown here: http://www.open-a-socket.com/index.php/2009/12/13/bulk-create-active-directory-contact-objects/ Tony
