Exchange 2003 - bulk create smtp contacts from user objects, bulk forward to smtp contacts, bulk turn off forwarding

Exchange 2003 running on Windows server 2003.  ~50 Users all in same OU on same domain with primary email address [email protected]  objective is to create smtp contacts from each of the user objects imported back into the same domain in
a different OU with mail, targetAddress, proxyAddresses/SMTP on the contacts being [email protected] and the options 'automatically update email addresses based on recipient policy' disabled and hidden from GAL for all.   At a later time will require
a method to bulk forward all of the user objects to their corresponding  [email protected] contact object and a way to to bulk disable the forwarding at a later time.   
ldifde created the contacts via export/import but Exchange seems to like rewriting the mail & proxyaddresses  or replacing domain2.com with one of the internal recipient policy domains requiring manual change in AD.
ldifde -f export-01.ldf -s dc1.domain1.com -d "OU=Users,OU=people,DC=domain1,DC=com" -r "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(givenname=*))" -l "cn,givenName,objectclass,samAccountName,mail,physicalDeliveryOfficeName,displayName,name,description,sn,targetAddress"
ldifde -i -f import-test-01.ldf -s dc1.domain1.com
I'm then using ADModify.net to bulk modify hide from address lists attribute and correct the mail, targetaddress, proxyaddress attributes, possibly forwarding as well.  The process is clunky compared to something like powershell on Exchange 2010. 
Am I going about this the wrong way?

users will remain on the domain.  decommissioning or altering access to the old mailboxes until some point post-migration would be unwanted so there's a fallback method in case anything goes wrong.  until testing reveals a better method, the strategy
for Exchange 2003 / Server 2003 environment will remain as is for now using ldifde export of select user object attributes followed by ldifde import of select attributes to contact objects, followed by admodify.net / admodcmd updating of the necessary mail/exchange
attributes via %’mailNickName’% similar to what's described below to forward internal mail to the external host.

  • "Create Simple document" from other objects

    Scenario: Creating a document using option "Create Simple document" from other objects
    I have created a document type and defined the object link for Functional Location with option "create simple document"
    When clicking on create icon on the additional data tab on IL02 screen, The system asks for the document type and then the file to be uploaded.
    The document type that i have defined has the Description filed as mandatory field and hence i am not able to create the document.
    However, for the Document type when i set the description field as not mandatory the system creates DIR. But this DIR has no description.
    Please let me know if there is a BADI, using which i could set the Functional location name as the description OR if there is some enhancement by which the user is asked to enter the description when creating the document.
    Warm Regards,
    Vivek Mohankumar

    Hi Vivek,
    After my tests I would like to inform you that this is                  
    the standard system behavior as the document description field is       
    maintained as mandatory in transaction DC10. Please note that for the   
    simple creation of documents this should not be set as a mandatory      
    field.                                                                               
    The creation mode can be defined in transaction DC10 for each object    
    under 'Define object links'.                                                                               
    Please note that the value "1" for the creation of documents is used    
    to enable a user to simple attache a word file to an object             
    without going to the transaction CV01n. Therefore the system behaviour  
    is different then creating a document by CV01n and attaching a          
    file to it. With simple creation mode there should not be any           
    mandatory fields as the user cannot enter anything during the creation  
    process.                                                                               
    However, you can change the behaviour how the document is created by    
    MM02 transaction if you change the customizing in transaction DC10      
    like this:                                                                               
    If you maintain the value "2" for creation of documents, the user is    
    put to transaction CV01n and then the description can be entered. So    
    maybe this would solve the issue.  
    Regarding a useful BADI I can only recommned you to test BADI DOCUMENT_OBJ1,
    DOCUMENT_OBJ2 or DOCUMENT_MAIN01 for fill the description field.
    I hope this information could be useful for you and help to avoid the   
    mentioned error message.                                                                               
    Best regards,
    Christoph

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.

    I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

    Wifi:  my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections.  So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
    if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help.  You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service.   Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
    last resort.  Backup the phone.  Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
    if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
    HOWEVER.   voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

  • Moving distribution list memberships from contact to user object with sync engine

    We only have the FIM sync engine and when replacing an AD contact object with a user object I am being asked to move the distribution lists that the contact is a member of over to the new user object. I've done the contact to user replacement provisioning
    many times before but never had to migrate the group memberships over.
    Does anyone have any advice for the best approach to do this?

    This is what I suspected.  You are not doing conversions.  You are simply Deprovisioning contact and provisioning user. For all intends and purposes, the 2 objects are not related in any shape of form.  So how do you know that this contact
    is related to that user?? 
    What you need is, to have both objects connected at the same time in MV before contact is deprovisioned.  Only this way you know that user 'U' is the same as contact 'C'.  FIM needs to know this.
    For this, you need to have one MV object with 2 AD connectors, one for user and one for contact. You can use to MAs, or you can use code to have one object with 2 connectors.  (Usually this is not allowed, but with code you can pass this)
    Before deprovisioning contact, you do the group membership changes, then you deprovision contact.

  • HT4910 when i back up my contacts from my iphone to icloud, any new contact that i added is not in icloud

    When i add new contacts to the phone, i go to setting - icloud - and then back up contacts. when i go in to my icloud accound via computer its not showing up, i have even tried backing up via wifi and cable connection. nothing.. any help please

    I assume by "email", you mean an email account such as Gmail, Yahoo or and exchange account.  To get these contacts in iCloud do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your email account you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from your email account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap the email account you are syncing these contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with with this account.  Otherwise you will end up with duplicate contacts on your phone.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the email account back to your phone, and to iCloud.  All your contacts should now be in iCloud.

  • Sun IDM 7.0, creating a new extended user object in the repository.

    I have tested a change to an existing UserForm used in Anonymous User Registration TaskDefinition. The customer would like to capture a new field of data from the user during the registration, and have it stored in the repository so that it may be used as a differentiators between groups for billing.
    Caveat:  I am not the guy that originally installed and originally configured the IDM server, nor am I a programmer.
    Having said that, I have poked around enough to me able to modify the UserForm to include the drop-down select code, but once saved during the registration process, it is lost once the account is approved.
    Is there a rather explicit procedure to create a new extended user attribute within the repository? Someplace where my data can be saved?
    Thank you in advance for any assistance you may offer.

  • HT4759 I just got a new macbook pro and I would like to have all of my contacts from my iPhone 4s imported. I have iCloud turned on on both devices but the contacts are not importing what am I missing

    For some strange reason my contacts are not populating on my macbook from my iPhone. I have iCloud turned on on both devices and I have selected the contacts folder to be in the cloud but my macbook isn't populating the data.

    To copy your exchange account contacts to iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from our exchange account you will need the “Pro” version.  If you aren't sure, start with the free version.  When you use it, it will tell you if you need the paid version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that and send the email to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing.*
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the exchange contacts back to your device, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm that the contacts are there.  If you ever want to "refresh" this with your current exchange contacts, you can reply to this conversation in the future and I can give you the steps to do so.
    * You could leave it turned on if you want to reference it occasionally.  If you do, just open contacts and tap Groups, then tap the exchange account so it is unchecked and tap Done.  That will hide them from view so you don't see duplicates.

  • Create DMS document from direct object transaction instead of CV01N

    Dear Experts,
    I have raised an issue for the same thing in past and got helpful reply also. However it is not working here. I have searched enough but did not get satisfactorily answer.
    My requirement here is to create and store DMS document directly from the object attached to DMS document type instead of CV01N e.g. create PR ME51N, create project CJ20N etc.
    So far I have done the required configuration to get create option in transaction while entering DMS document number. I kept document description field as an optional for respective document type and created and assigned role in Define profile step. Number range is internal. So I think all necessary configuration in place. Now problem here is when I am clicking on create easy document icon, it ask me to select document type and file from local machine also. But nothing is happening afterwards and document is not getting created and stored. Transaction return on screen without any number and so. Please help me out. Did I miss anything?
    Looking forward for your reply. Points will be allocated for answer.
    Best Regards,
    Bhagat

    Hi Bhagat,
    Select the document type in question,navigate to "Define object links".Please verify if the following values have been maintained:
    Screen no-233
    When new version-1
    Create document-1
    Document version-1
    Additional functions-checked
    Post this,re-test the scenario and share the results.Also,do confirm if you are able to create documents of the above document type using CV01n transaction successfully.

    Hi
    Not sure exactly where you are doing this from but there are reports in SIM that give you this information without writing any code.
    Admin role report
    Administrators report.
    If this doesn't suit you you could look at the code that runs these reports and maybe anser your code question there.
