13.2.4 Creating GroupWise Accounts by Importing Users

You can use the GroupWise Import utility to quickly create multiple GroupWise users. The Import
utility reads an ASCII-delimited text file created by the GroupWise Export utility or by a third-party
export, and creates Novell eDirectory and GroupWise objects with attributes from the file. The
Import utility supports most eDirectory classes (including extensions) and GroupWise classes. You
can specify the delimiters, eDirectory contexts, and file field positions to use during import.
IMPORTANT: The Import/Export utility is not included on the GroupWise CDs. You can
download the Import/Export utility from TID 2960897 in the
/www.novell.com/support/supportcentral). To install the Import/Export utility, follow the
