Well using the import tools for AD is the typical way, 3rd party tools <a href="http://www.imanami.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.imanami.com/</a> can also do the trick. I created a OU for external contacts, now you can use something like ‘ADMODIFY.NET’ after the import to make them not show in the GAL but you still need to create contacts in the AD, making it a seperte OU keeps it neat, then you can assign someone to keep all the info up to date (if you choose to display it in the GAL, may as well have all the important stuff available).

Hi
There is a command with exchange 2000 or exchange 2003 server called csvde. If you have a list of the email addresses, you can save them all as an excel spread sheet, and then use this command to import them into anywhere you want in your AD. I import all of ours into a specific OU depending on where they are. Then, if there is a radical change in them, I can just remove the members of the OU and repeat the command, which tends to be a little easier than going through and checking them all.
If you are willing to do the work to drop them into a CSV file, then I can help you with the rest of the import
You need a few fields, the main ones to start with are displayname and mail address.
Let me know if this is a viable option and I will post up some more instructions

My company want a mailing list of approx. 1200 adresses. This of course will not fit in outlook DL, but it will in exchange 2003. How do i creat these list if the users are not in my AD? I do not want to enter 1200 external email address in to my AD to create this. Or, if that is not possible, what is a good 3rd party solution?
