I have a challenge to move 300 users from being CONTACT to being a AD USER.
I have exported all settings so that I can just modify the ObjectClass and OU
settings and import all of the other settings into AD Windows 2000. However
I have an error stating that "Constraint Violation" "A required attribute is
missing". I have run export with -f filename.csv -m -r -s servername. Due
to the email address not changing and it appears to have a user account in
the contact file, this appears to be the issue.

Is there something I am missing about this tool? I have not used this tool
for many years so there could be a minor change required in order to make
this change.

My concern is that I can not edit the csv file, so it would be only a backup
and recovery to the same everything. If this is the case, does anyone else
have an idea to complete this change without keying in every user?

Hello,

To create a user you must supply a value for the sAMAccountName attribute.
Your contacts do not have this attribute. Are you accounting for this in
your import?
