If you have thousands of mail-enable contacts to add to Active Directory, use the CVSDE tool to import a text delimited file.
Add two colums:
- proxyAddress
- mailNickname
Populate the proxyAddress column with SMTP address.
e.g., SMTP:SOKON@OMINIMAIL.COM
The mailNickname should be the user name or alias.
MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS EXCHANGE SERVER TIP
I just wanted to point out that the code should be proxyAddresses rather than proxyAddress (proxyAddress does not work).

******************************************
To mail enable an external contact within an Exchange Server 2003 environment, you also need to populate targetAddress with SMTP:name@domain.co.uk .
