How can I add members to a new distribution group from a CSV file?
How can I add members to a new distribution group from a CSV file?
- I'd like to import users from a CSV file to a Distribution Group. I've exported the members of an exisiting Distribtution Group to the CSV and I basically want to clone it with a different name. I can't get the Powershell to work...
I thought it should look like
Import-Csv -Path D:\ml.csv | ForEach-Object {Add-DistributionGroupMember....this is where I'm lost....

- Exchange Server 2003 does not have this cmdlet or an similar function. If you want to use PowerShell and you are using Exchange 2003, you could probably use the Quest Active Directory Powershell tools

You would need to install the PowerShell and then install the Quest tools. Then take a look at the Add-QADGroupMember cmdlet that Quest provides.

Good job, Amit
I tested in the lab
Step 1: Export Value of the user object you want to add into DG (Distribution Group)
Csvde -r objectclass=user -d "OU=ExTeam,DC=contoso,DC=com" -l "Name" -f C:\member.txt
Step 2: Import the file as Amit said
import-csv C:\member.txt | foreach {add-distributiongroupmember DGName -member $_.Name}
Step 3: Verify the result via EMC or EMS
- Thanks again Amit. We gave it a try and it worked perfectly.
Orange County District Attorney - My pleasure Sandy... :)

10x - Exchange Server 2003 does not have this cmdlet or an similar function. If you want to use PowerShell and you are using Exchange 2003, you could probably use the Quest Active Directory Powershell tools
