Import customer e-mail .CSV into AD for Exchange 2003

We would like to add a large number of customer addresses to our Exchnage 2003 server directory.  We have all of them in a .csv file already.  Is there an easy way to bring those items into Active Directory?

You can use the CSVDE utility to bulk import contacts into AD:

You'll most likely have to reconfigure your .csv, and as you'll see the above article is for creating 'non mail-enabled' contacts. Along with the columns for objectClass, DN, and displayName.....I believe you'll need to add columns for mailNickname, targetAddress, proxyAdresses at a minimum. Here's a forum that discusses it a little:

And another that discusses CSVDE in general:

Those are good starting points - post back if you run into issues or have questions!
