Migrating Contacts and Distribution Lists From Outlook to Active Directory

Overview Active Directory, once it is extended by Exchange, provides a scalable solution for looking up contacts using the LDAP protocol. Resolving contact names using Outlook when accessing Active Directory is really fast, even if one has hundreds of contacts, and doesn't slow down the way it does when one has too many contacts in an Outlook contacts public folder. Use script magic to turn the Outlook MAPI based contact information to a lightening fast Active Directory, Exchange enhanced LDAP implementation.
