How do I import a local Contacts list to a Public folder?
Use the File/Import option of Outlook to import all contacts into a folder locally. Then manually copy all the created entries from the local folder to the public folder. When adding a new mailbox, this error appears: “The object xxx with the directory name ‘xx’ already exits. Enter a unique alias name on the General property page for this mail recipient” Check for mailboxes with the same directory name. This is how exchange makes associations to mailboxes. You may have changed the alias but a duplicate directory name still exists. The directory name can be found under the “advanced” tab of the users’ mailbox properties check this for duplicates. You can also specify a specific directory name instead of taking the default alias name as the directory name in your mailbox creation.
