I have exported a number of users from my companies production domain and I need to import them into a testing domain for development purposes.

when I try to do this using the ldifde -i -f c:\test.ldf -s testing command I receive the error message "A referral was returned from the server" and then the command fails.

I believe this is down to fact that the testing domain has a different name, so I have modified the details in the test file to the below.

DN: CN=test account,OU=staff,OU=Users,DC=Testdomain,DC=Com

Any idea where I am going wrong?, I have googled the problem but cannot seem to find the answer to my problem.

ldifde -e -f c: testfile.csv and check the syntax?

SJust sounds like a typo to me.

Hi Blairout,

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry I didn't make myself very clear. I have exported the users to a txt file but cannot import them into the test domain without receiving the error message.

I am building a new server and am going to stick to the normal naming convention but it will not be connected to the network.
