Automated way of creating contacts in AD

[wawen]

I have 300 names of users who are not members of the domain (ie external contacts). I am trying to create their contacts and add them to a distribution group so that people in the organisation can email all these contacts.
I am looking for an automated way of doing this. This is a list of former students of a college.
I have never done this before and I need assistance in doing this

You can download the AD Bulk Contacts, by searching it from google, that is designed to make importing and updating Active Directory Contacts easy. With built in support for Microsoft Exchange you can easily mail enable your contacts if AD Bulk Contacts is required. Import Contacts with basic Details or import very detailed information. AD Bulk Contacts imports Contacts using the simple CSV format or from a database table (MS SQL). With Command Line support you can automate the import and update of your Active Directory Contacts.

Thanks alot.

I was able to create all the contacts on my test environment successfully.
I will now work on that on the production server next week.

All is good. Was able to create 400 contacts in the designated OU with everything I wanted in the right place.

Thanks
