SUMMARY
=======
When you use Directory Import and Directory Export on the Tools menu in the
Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, it is possible to use a space or tab
as the separator for the .csv file.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you are performing a command line import or export (ADMIN /i or ADMIN /e),
you will need to specify the separators in the Options file.
The options are as follows:
If you are using a space delimited .csv file,
ColumnSeparator=32
QuoteCharacter=32
MVSeparator=32
If you are using a TAB delimited .csv file,
ColumnSeparator=09
QuoteCharacter=09
MVSeparator=09
For example, if you are performing a command line import, your command line
should be the following:
admin /i user.csv /o import.ini
where the IMPORT.INI file has the following:
[Import]
ColumnSeparator=09
If you are exporting to an existing .csv file that contains a separator other
than what is specified by ColumnSeparator, the columnseparator will be ignored.
In this case, you should export to a new file.
