XADM: Saving Changes to Customized Templates (156274)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q156274

SYMPTOMS

After updating to Service Pack 2, customization details of templates are lost. This will also happen if you reinstall Microsoft Exchange Server.

WORKAROUND

Export the customized templates to a .csv file before upgrading and import them afterward.

  1. Copy Tpl.csv and Tpl.ini to the root of drive C from the Microsoft Exchange Server compact disc Support\Samples\Csvs\Tpl folder.
  2. At a command prompt perform ATTRIB Tpl.csv and Tpl.ini to remove the read only attribute from them.
  3. Modify the Tpl.ini file to include references to your organization and site under export and import. 
          [export]
      ExportObject=All
      Subcontainers=Yes
      Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=Configuration/cn=Addressing
      Container=Display-Templates

      [import]
      Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=Configuration/cn=Addressing
      Container=Display-Templates
      OverwriteProperties=Yes
  4. Export the customized details templates using the following command line from the root: c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe /e c:\tpl.csv /o c:\tpl.ini

  5. The customizations are now available for import when needed with the following command: c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe /i c:\tpl.csv /o c:\tpl.ini
