DOCUMENT:Q184766 10-APR-1999 [exchange] TITLE :XADM: Command-Line Export Fails on Custom Recipients PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:WINDOWS:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbusage ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you are using the command-line export utility and an export options file to export custom recipients, you may get a CSV file that contains only header information, or a CSV file that contains unwanted mailbox information instead of or in addition to the custom recipient information. WORKAROUND ========== This problem usually results from over-configuring the export options file. If you want only to export custom recipients from Exchange, then start by using the following format in the export options file: [Export] Basepoint=/o=/ou=/cn=Recipients Container= ExportObject=Remote NOTE: note there should be no spaces between the object parameters Do not put an entry for HomeServer, because this will result in a CSV file that contains only headers and no other information. For more information about this, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q147854, "XADM: Custom Recipients DIR Export Creates Headers-Only CSV". For more information about command-line export and the export options file, see the online Help (Admin /?) and pages 476-482 in the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator's Guide. ====================================================================== Keywords : kbusage Technology : kbExchangeSearch kbExchange400 kbZNotKeyword2 Version : WINDOWS:4.0 Issue type : kbprb ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
