Bulk import from a CSV file into Exch 2007 Mail Contacts
I can import name and e-mail info but not the phone number - I assume this has to be a 2 pass operation - can anyone help me with a sample script to achieve this please?
The script immediately below achieves the basic first pass:
import-csv c:\bcbc.csv | foreach { new-mailcontact -Name $_.displayName -Firstname $_.Firstname -Lastname $_.Lastname -ExternalEmailAddress $_.EmailAddress -org "<mydomain.com/contacts>"}
But if I try to append a Set-Contact command in the same script using the command Set-Contact $_.displayName -Phone $_.Telephone}
it fails - so my unsuccessful script looks like:
import-csv c:\bcbc.csv | foreach { new-mailcontact -Name $_.displayName -Firstname $_.Firstname -Lastname $_.Lastname -ExternalEmailAddress $_.EmailAddress -org "<mydomain.com/contacts>" Set-Contact $_.displayName -Phone $_.Telephone}
The script immediately below achieves the basic first pass:
import-csv c:\bcbc.csv | foreach { new-mailcontact -Name $_.displayName -Firstname $_.Firstname -Lastname $_.Lastname -ExternalEmailAddress $_.EmailAddress -org "<mydomain.com/contacts>"}

If you issue a 'help import-csv' command from the Exchange Shell, you will see that there is no Set-Contact option, which is why it is failing.

Yes - initial commnet was a bit misleading on first read but the second post to the sample script was good and enabled me to get the import working- thanks
