Scalix Forums

Looking for the file format for bulk loading memebers to a public distribution list.

The admin guide alluded to a cut and paste routine to get the data out of the exhange server but left out the how to format the file and what command to use.

Getting the names(list and members) out of exhange is easy using an ldapsearch query,

But I'm having issue figuring out what format the input file should be in.
All members had already been loaded into the system directory as either an internet user or scalix user.

I believe the command is omaddpdln -l "listname/mailnodename" -f members.txt

But the format of members.txt isn't really clear?
Seems that you can use
IA=user@domain.com/OU1=mailnode
IA=externaluser@external.com/OU1=internet

Is this right ?

Hi,

In the man page for omaddpdln, examples are given for the -n option which is the same format for file content in multiple lines, e.g. "first last /mailnode". Alternatively the tag=value format that you normally get from omsearch would also work, e.g. "G=first/S=last/OU1=mailnode".

Regards,
