No, it can't, contacts are not stored in AD

Hi, see if this works. It should read contact ids from a file called ContactIDs.txt

Thanks Rob

I get this

dsquery failed:`-samID' is an unknown parameter.
type dsquery /? for help.*ERROR* 'Abhishek Avi' Not Found in Active Directory.

Can we query by full name

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
