External email via contact in AD Active Directory.... with full automation, possibly using dsadd.exe
How Can I do this solution via the 'dsadd.exe' command line automation so I can build batch scripts and such...or perhaps another method to get the same results? Link below to manual solution, need automated solution.

Ok, I think I didnt specify the goals correctly to reflect the Question link. I was trying to say... to complete the referenced question Q_20615280... but have it automated, and my goals were summed up after reading that question.
The main part that isnt working is to have a new contact...with an external email address. I can Manually do it using the Question link Q_20615280, I can do a contact with external email....manually doing it works fine. My problem is, I need to automate the process with dsadd.exe. The above post tells me how to add a contact to a DL, which is the next step after that.
Goals -
1. fully automated via commandline (DOS Prompt)
2. make a contact (fully automated via step 1) that has a working external email address
3. Add the contact to a DL [done]
4. When done, I should email list@localdomain.com and all contacts in that DL will get emails via their external email addresses

Hmm, I am going to try and work with those links more. It just doesnt want to send email to them.
On a second note...I can only create exchange mailboxes on the exchange/AD server. If I connect to the server via the Windows 2003 Admin Pack on Windows XP SP2, I get most of the options except for exchange options - create email account, manage it, etc.
