XADM: How to Import International Characters into Exchange Server

ID: Q196396

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5

SUMMARY

An Exchange Server Administrator can use the Microsoft Windows NT Unicode Character Map application to create Comma Separated Value (CSV) text files that contain International characters.

The Unicode Character Map application uses the standard ANSI character set, which is compatible with the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program.

MORE INFORMATION

Importing CSV files, which were created using MS-DOS text and the IBM PC Extended Character Set (ECS), will fail to create an object with the correct International characters.
