Import Contacts and Users

With Exchange, when importing user data from GroupWise to Exchange, you can choose to import users in three different ways: as users, security-disabled users, or contacts. Use the Import Container tab to specify a container in which to import GroupWise recipients.

Note   Once you select an import container, you cannot remove the container.

To import contacts or users:

1. Start System Manager
   On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. In the console tree, double-click Connectors.
3. Right-click Connector for Novell GroupWise (server_name), and then click Properties.
   
   
4. On the Import Container tab, click one of the following options:

5. Create a disabled Windows user account

   This option creates a Windows user account for the user, but disables it. A GroupWise user with this account will receive e-mail at their GroupWise mailbox. Although the user cannot log on to Windows 2000 resources by default, the account can be enabled using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.

   Create a new Windows user account

   This option creates an active Windows user account for the user. A GroupWise user with this account will still receive e-mail at their GroupWise mailbox but they are not mailbox-enabled. However, they can log on to Windows 2000 resources with this account.

   Create a Windows contact

   This option creates the user as a contact. The GroupWise user will receive e-mail at their GroupWise mailbox. They will not be able to access Windows 2000 resources.

Important   If you create a Windows user, you cannot change a user to a contact or vice-versa using this option. To make this change, you must manually delete the contact or user and then perform the import function again.
