Automatic Distribution List Updates?

[Andrew Lewis]

I`m working with 2 email systems here and trying to maintain system-wide distribution lists
in each. The lists of users begin as NetWare groups, then are turned into text files by an
automatic process every night. These integrate into the "other" email system just fine,
but I`m having a hard time finding a good way to import the lists into Exchange.
...at least not the way I need to do it. I need to be able to drop the list and then import a
new set of names every night. This system won`t know who needs to be removed, only
who should be on the list.

Thanks in advance!

You need a custom-made program to utilize database to import all netware accounts to database, compare it with old database and generate a delta file. By export the delta file and use CSV format, you are able to import the changes to exchange by using directory import tool.
