SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to import a Directory Import file using the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, you may encounter the following error:

The attribute Member of is not directly importable.

In addition, in the Windows NT Event Viewer, you will find the following event logged by MSExchangeDSImp:

Event ID: 154

The attribute Member of is not directly importable.



SUMMARY
The import file field Member Of is not a valid import field. It can only be exported from Microsoft Exchange.



WORKAROUND
When using the import function of Exchange Administrator to add mailboxes to a Distribution List, use one of the following two options:
 * 1) Create an import file with a list of DL's and put the list of users for that DL in the Members field.
 * 2) Create an import file with a list of mailboxes and put the list of DL's that each mailbox should belong to in a field titled Members instead of Member Of.
