SUMMARY
Occasionally, it may be necessary to change the formatting of the Full Name field for an entire postoffice. Although it is possible to do this by using the Mail Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE) and changing each name manually, it is more efficient to use the Import utility (IMPORT.EXE).



MORE INFORMATION
To use the IMPORT.EXE utility to change the Full Name field for an entire postoffice, complete the following steps:   At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following:

import -x -dm admin -p -fd:\exp1.txt

This will produce a file in the following format:      A g10to4                         PCM:NET1/PO1/g10to4 A g15to9                        PCM:NET1/PO1/g15to9 A Administrator                 PCM:NET1/PO1/Admin A adminsch                      PCM:NET1/PO1/adminsch A PO1 User One                  PCM:NET1/PO1/one1 A one2                          PCM:NET1/PO1/one2 A one3                          PCM:NET1/PO1/one3 A one4                          PCM:NET1/PO1/one4 A Administrator                 PCM:NET2/PO2/Admin A adminsch                      PCM:NET2/PO2/adminsch A g20to4                        PCM:NET2/PO2/g20to4 A g25to9                        PCM:NET2/PO2/g25to9 A two1                          PCM:NET2/PO2/two1 A two2                          PCM:NET2/PO2/two2 The goal is to change all of the NET1/PO1 users' Full Names to the same format as that of PO1 User One.   Reformat the file using Excel or a similar tool so that it looks similar to the list below:      M one2                           PCM:NET1/PO1/one2 PO1 User 2                    PCM:NET1/PO1/one2 M one3                          PCM:NET1/PO1/one3 PO1 User 3                    PCM:NET1/PO1/one3 M one4                          PCM:NET1/PO1/one4 PO1 User 4                    PCM:NET1/PO1/one4  At the MS-DOS command prompt, type:

import -dm admin -p -a -f:c\imp1.txt

 To test the results, type:

import -dm admin -x -fc:\exp2.txt
