SUMMARY
=======

This article explains how to use the Bulk Import functionality of the Microsoft
Exchange Administrator program to remove data from specific fields of the user
properties.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To remove data from specific fields, use ~DEL as the value of that field in the
import file (.CSV file). When the Import is performed, the data in the fields
with ~DEL as the value will be removed.

For example, say the Office field for each user needed to be cleared out. The
following import file shows how this can be done.

Obj-Class,  Directory Name,  Office
Mailbox,  Admin,  ~DEL
Mailbox,  User1,  ~DEL
Mailbox,  User2,  ~DEL
