Import LDAP Configuration Data Using the LDIFDE Command
You can import configuration data from an LDIF file into a standard or replica View Connection Server by
running the Microsoft LDIFDE command.
In View 4.5 and later releases, you should use the vdmimport command to import configuration data. The
vdmimport command does not display the large number of error messages that are produced by running the
LDIFDE command. See “Import LDAP Configuration Data” on page 63.
The LDIFDE command does not update, create, or delete any LDAP records that are not defined in the LDIF
file. This allows you to customize an LDIF file so that only selected records are affected when you import the
file.
For more information about using the LDIFDE command, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237677.
In View 3.1 or earlier, you must be logged into a View Connection Server instance as an administrator, and be
a member of the Local Administrators user group.
In View 4.5 and later releases, you must be logged into a View Connection Server instance as a user in the
Administrators role to import configuration data successfully into the View configuration repository.
To import configuration data into a View Connection Server instance using LDIFDE
1 Select Start > All Programs > ADAM > ADAM Tools Command Prompt.
2 At the command prompt, type the LDIFDE command and specify an existing LDIF file as an argument to
the -f option.
LDIFDE -i -f myexport.LDF -s 127.0.0.1 -z
Enter the other options to the LDIFDE command as shown in the example.
The configuration of your View Connection Server instance is updated with the data from the file, and the
number of records that have been successfully updated is displayed. A large number of error messages
are displayed that indicate whenever an existing entry in the repository has been overwritten. Such errors
can be ignored. Errors are also displayed if some records could not be updated because your role has
insufficient privileges.
