LDSPowershell

Is there a way to add contacts to multiple accounts using powershell

or c# or vb. I've done a lot in powershell, a little in c# and none

in vb. I'll accept any of the above if someone could give me a head

start.
 
Do you mean in multiple Exchange mailboxes?

Sure, call Application.Session.GetSharedDefaultFolder(...,

olFolderContacts), then call Folder.Items.Add to create a new contact

Correct, multiple brand new accounts, exchange 2007. I'm assuming

thats vba, thanks for the info.. it looks like i'll have to grab a

vba book, i've always wanted to learn a bit about vba.

ok, so its looking that is c#. I've just never used it in this way...

I'm not an expert by any means but I can dig around and usually get

things to work.
 
It does not really matter what language you are using.

What exactly are you having problems with?

Im migrating some accounts to exchange and have ldap'd their old

contacts and put them in a csv file. I would like to have them

populated into the new accounts for the users. it can be a bit

difficult for a user to select import from the file menu and follow

the prompts... so it would save a few calls to have them already

populated when they open outlook. im just looking for an semi

automated way to get them in. i can go into each account and import

them in, but I really don't want to do that
 
Did you start writing any code?

Is there a specific Outlook object or method that you are having problems

with?

Im sitting in visual studio right now playing with code. no problems

yet that I need to ask question about, again Im not an expert in c# or

studio, but the web is a beautiful thing when it comes to finding how

to do things! which do you think would be easier, vb or c#?
 
It is whatever you are most comfortable with :-)

I'd personally prefer C#.

after I asked about vb or c# I realized that its really .net

right--- thats why you say it doesn't matter. its all coming

together...I'm new to the MS thing but am finding it enjoyable.
