Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5
SUMMARY
This article explains how an Exchange administrator can add a user's
mailbox name to a distribution list (DL).
MORE INFORMATION
To add a user's mailbox name to a DL, perform the following steps:
- Export the DL to a CSV file, using Tools Directory Export in the
Exchange Administrator program.
- Notice that the members of the DL are listed under Members.
- Add the mailbox name to the Members section of the exported CSV file.
Use the format %Recipients/cn=MailboxName with MailboxName being the
name you want to add to the DL.
- Import the CSV file, and the mailbox will be added to the DL.
Here is a sample of the Members column in the CSV file:
Recipients/cn=MailboxName1%Recipients/cn=MailboxName2%Recipients/cn=Mailbox
Name3%Recipients/cn=MailboxName4
If you add %Recipients/cn=MailboxName5 to the above and import the file,
MailboxName5 will now belong to the DL.
