At the command prompt, type the vdmimport command and use the -f option to specify the LDIF
configuration file to import.
For example: vdmimport -f myexport.LDF
After the vdmimport command runs, 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.
Errors are displayed if some records could not be updated because your role has insufficient privileges.
Use the LDIFDE Command to Import LDAP Configuration Data
You can use the Microsoft LDIFDE command to import configuration data from an LDIF configuration file
into a standard or replica View Connection Server instance.
In View releases earlier than View 4.5, you must use the Microsoft LDIFDE command to import configuration
data from an LDIF configuration file. The vdmimport command is not supported in View releases earlier than
View 4.5.
If you have View 4.5 or later, use the vdmimport command rather than the LDIFDE command. The vdmimport
command does not display the large number of error messages that are produced by running the LDIFDE
command. For more information, see “Use the vdmimport Command to Import LDAP Configuration Data,”
on page 63.
Because the LDIFDE command does not update, create, or delete any LDAP records that are not defined in
the LDIF configuration file, it enables you to customize an LDIF configuration file so that only selected
records are affected when you import the file. For complete information about using the LDIFDE command,
go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237677.
Prerequisites
Export LDAP configuration data to an LDIF configuration file. See “Export LDAP Configuration Data,” on
page 60.
Procedure
1 Log in to a View Connection server instance.
Option Action
View 3.1 or earlier
Log in as an administrator and be a member of the Local Administrators
user group.
View 4.5 or later
Log in as a user in the Administrators role.
NOTE You must be logged in as a user in the Administrators role to
import configuration data into the View configuration repository.

At the command prompt, type the LDIFDE command and use the -f option to specify an existing LDIF
configuration file.
For example: LDIFDE -i -f myexport.LDF -s 127.0.0.1 -z
After the LDIFDE command runs, the configuration of your View Connection Server instance is updated with
the data from the file, and the number of records that are successfully updated is displayed.
Error messages appear whenever an existing entry in the repository is overwritten. You can ignore these
error messages. Error messages also appear if a record cannot be updated because your role has insufficient
privileges.
