thunders has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am looking for a way to add a large list of people to my companies global address book. I'd like to use perl if possible. We run Exchange 2000 on Windows 2000 Pro , and I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to do that in any language, without logging onto the mail server and manually entering each one into the the "Active directory Users and Computers" tool.
I looked at modules like Win32::NetAdmin, Win32::OLE, IDG::Win32::ActiveDirectory. But I can only find methods to add actual domain users, not simple email contacts. I also looked at Net::LDAP to import via Active Directory's LDAP interface, but recreating an LDAP schema for contacts seems like overkill for this task. Has anybody here come up with a way to automate this?
