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:
- Create an import file with a list of DL's and put the list of users for that DL in the Members field.
- 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.
