SYMPTOMSWhen you import Distribution lists (DL) from a Personal Address Book, either during the upgrade, or later through the Import Wizard, all the contacts contained in the DL are expanded into individual contacts. RESOLUTIONOpen the DL and click Update Now. You can then safely delete the individual expanded contacts. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
The expanded contacts can be deleted only after you have updated the DL. Following this, you can delete the contacts that were expanded during the import of the DL. There are three tasks to accomplish this.
Update the Distribution ListTo retain the information in the distribution list after you delete the expanded contacts, you need to update the DL. to do this follow these steps:
This will add the contact information directly into the DL. Deleting the individual contacts will not remove them from the DL. Repeat these steps for each DL that was imported before you contine to the next task. Create a New ViewWith this step you will create a view that lists only contacts that were modified "today" assuming that you imported the DL today. If you added some individual contacts today, they will need to be identified and possibly moved to another contact folder temporarily, to avoid possible deletion. If the import occured on a different day you will need to change the condition in step 7 to "on" and in the Value field, type the date of the import.
You can see only the contacts that were imported today (or on a specific date). If you created other contacts today they will also be visible. You may want to move those contacts to a different folder before deleting the extra contacts. Delete the Extra Contacts
