I have a user that has three seperate contact lists that I need to merge into on all inclusive list. There may be duplicate contacts, with, for example, a different phone number. I use the powershell command below to take a copy of the contacts and move them into a different mailbox where I can work on them.Export-mailbox -id 'SourceMailbox' -IncludeFolders "\contacts" -TargetFolder ' ContactsToMerge' -TargetMailbox TargetMailbox The problem I run into is that the "Modified Date" of the contacts in the "Target Mailbox" reflects the date of the day\time i copied them into the "Target Mailbox"Is there a better way to do this?

Hi, You may try to Export contacts and Import them. This will not move the contacts, So the modified date should be preserved. Method: 1. Login to Source mailbox. 2. Export the Contacts from Source mailbox to PST. 3. Login to Target mailbox 4. Import the Contacts to Target mailbox from PST.

Yes,and I guess why you not do it in the uses mailbox, I think it will be easiler.More information:outlook--Merging Contacts Without Duplicationhttp://windowsitpro.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=22155Frank Wang
