Importing Quick Start Guide |
|
Step 1 Prepare your import file that has the attribute information you want to set. The easiest way to do this is to first start with an export file that you created using Directory Mate. This way it will already have the correct distinguished names/object GUIDs for each object/user that you want to update. Here is an example of an import CSV file that has been prepared by taking an export file and then specifying the values we want to modify for the streetAddress and company attributes. Columns must have the LDAP name of an attribute.
Insert a new column at the front of your import file and give it the title "mode". Set each value in this column to "Modify". This tells Directory Mate that you want to modify the object/user on each line. Here is an example of the same import file with the mode column inserted:
Step 3 Run Directory Mate and select the "Import Objects" option.
Step 4 Select the import file that you have already created (see above steps).
Step 5 Directory Mate will verify your import file and show you the columns that it found in the file. If there are any mistakes in the import file you will instead get an error at this step.
Step 6 Select a file
folder where an error file will be created if any problems occur
during the import. If no problems occur then no error file
will be created.
Step 7 When the import process has finished the last step of the Directory Mate wizard will appear. It will tell you how many entries were successfully imported and how many errors occurred. If any errors occurred you will find an error file listing the problems in the file folder you selected at the previous step.
Open one of the objects/users in your Active Directory to verify that the changes have been made successfully. Copyright
