    Hello,

    change userPrincipleName in userPrincipalName and try again. Unfortunal the error is pointing out line 1 but the complete error states about a wrong attribute name.

    Having located this thread to solve a problem I had...

    noticed that the answer had actually been given to this by Meinolf Weber....

    simple spelling mistake...... "userPrincipalName" as opposed to userPrincipleName"

    Thanks to all for the posts - really useful when trying to navigate through the various errors in the 70-640 book labs

    Kind regards

    Chas

    This is solution. You should remove two lines from attribiute one is  "Title" second is "Company" after  modify your code must look like this

    Man I hate to have to add into this, but I have been struggling now for two days trying to figure this out. I have gone line by line through my script and have even gone as far as correcting everything was exactly as the book is,ensured there were no extra spaces on any lines, but still I get errors...

    Thats the book I am using as well zakariyarazi and I have been stuck for days trying to figure it out. I cant see anything wrong with my syntax and (what I tried to say above) even went as far as checking the letter case to be correct.

     

    I guess I can just create the user accounts manually, but I really dont want to skip ahead and miss something important! If anyone can tell me where I am going wrong i sure would be grateful! I have tried all of the suggestions and even tried removing lines one at a time!!

    Man Ok... I cant believe with as much scouring as I did I missed this detail. I guess it is because I am not fully familiar with the formats I need yet. Be VERY careful when creating this as the slightest mistake will throw the whole thing off. I am not sure what i did for the first entry but the "Tony Krijnen" error I made is in bold below. Hope this helps you out in finding where it is going wrong! zakariyarazi.

    After correcting it, I am now able to move on.. Woo-hoo!!

    userPrincipalName is NOT misspelt.
    The problem is pretty simple, but very easy to miss. There should be a space between cn: and the user name. instead of cn:April Stewart it should be cn: April Stewart

    Copy and paste the text below, it will fix the problem. Good luck with the exam

    DN:cn= April Stewart,OU=People,DC=contoso,DC=com
    ChangeType:add
    CN:April Stewart
    objectClass:user

    If you copy & paste Iains text it creates 2 lines between the text: simply remove 1 line (so there is only 1 line) and it will work :)

    Amazing! I actually copied and pasted your text into a new txt file, including changing Krijnen, tony to tony.krijnen, as you suggested, and I STILL get the same error. Can you show a copy of your syntax on this thread?

    Thanks,

    When dealing with LDIFDE you must be very conscious of that single space after the colon (dn:<SPACE>CN=April...). Also every object must be separated by ONLY ONE blank line (denoted by <CR> in the example below). I have also had issues if I did not have one blank line before the first object and after the last object in the file (see below). Now I did not test this import file but it matches the layout of the working exports/imports I have done including the order of the attributes and the character case. I do not believe case and order are important but I always see dn:, changetype:, and objectClass: as the first three attributes.

    <CR>
    dn: CN=April Stewart,OU=People,DC=contoso,DC=com
    changetype: add
    objectClass: user
    cn: April Stewart
    sn: Stewart
    title: Sales Representative
    description: Sales Representative in the USA
    givenName: April
    displayName: Stewart, April
    department: Sales
    company: Contoso, Ltd.
    userPrincipalName: april.stewart@contoso.com
    sAMAccountName: april.stewart
    mail: april.stewart@contoso.com
    <CR>
    dn: CN=Tony Krijnen,OU=People,DC=contoso,DC=com
    changetype: add
    objectClass: user
    cn: Tony Krijnen
    sn: Krijnen
    title: Sales Representative
    description: Sales Representative in The Netherlands
    givenName: Tony
    displayName: Krijnen, Tony
    department: Sales

    userPrincipalName: tony.krijnen@contoso.com
    sAMAccountName: tony.krijnen

    I struggled with this for over two hours and finally got it to work. I was getting an error on line 1 which made me spend a lot of time looking at line 1. I have the exact same layout as above but it still failed, the problem ended up being an extra space after userAccountControl:512 for the April Stewart entry. So just follow the above format and make sure to delete any trailing spaces after each line. Thanks everybody.

    I received the same error however in my case in turned out that my production schema had an attribute that was not available in my test schema. I exported the schema from prod and imported the schema to test, and then all the users imported with no error.
