Importing outlook Contacts into Active Directory

[RC]

In Active Directory I want to make/add contacts to a folder so it shows
up in the Global Address List in exchange/outlook

Is there a way to export all the contacts from someone’s mailbox and
import them into AD without me adding them one by one. I have close to
500 I want to import and there is no way I am doing this one at a
time!! ill walk out today 

Possible use a .pst or .csv file ????

Thoughts!

Help save my nightmare!

I want to do something similar but without the Exchange part. I have a
DC at my church which is running fine, and I have about 5 workstations
with Outlook 2003. My staff would like a central address book that they
can Add/Delete contacts from. Naturally, I can have them look at AD w/
Outlook, but they can't add any so far. I also haven't found a simple
way to add addresses from a .PST file.

Anyone have ideas for the original poster or myself?

Thanks!

I know you can use LDIFDE to import and export objects into Active
Directory but when I use this utility it doesnt import all the
attributes from the the object in the .csv file. i only get

LastName, FirstName and the email address. the rest of the contacts
information; phone number, fax, web, etc. are all missing.
