How to Import LCS Contacts in Live Communications Server 200 |
|
|
Hi,
there used to be an option to 'import contacts from a saved file' within the
older version of the messenger which allowed us to import department
specific contacts for our users rather than importing
everyone. i cannot seem to locate that option within the new client. the
LCS2005 admin console has an option to add users individually. has anyone
done this on a group level? there's an export to xml
feature but no import.
any advise would be appreciated.

There seems to be a bit of fuss over this feature, or the lack of it, and
with good reason.
There is an import script that can be utilized to import a list of contacts
for a user, or group of users. It will enable you, the admin, to add the
groups on behalf of the user(s).
Download the LCS 2005 SP1 Resource kit:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A368DED8-EA7C-4C65-9844-39CAFA07A454&displaylang=en
Located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft LC 2005\ResKit\WMI Samples\
directory are two files: LCSAddContacts_readme.htm and LCSAddContacts.wsf
Regarding this script, the readme is pretty good...and is great for a
script. In addition, you can look at the .wsf script as it is cleartext and
not encoded/encrupted.
This script utilizes two import text files. The downside is that this
script would have to be re-ran each time a user is added to your
group(s). The upside is that you simply need to update the files.
Another upside is that the script should not duplicate contacts that it has
already added. You could also utilize it to put the contacts in a group and
simply update that group.
