SUMMARY

This article explains how to use the Import/Export feature in the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program to export the creation date of directory objects such as mailboxes, custom recipients, and distribution lists.

MORE INFORMATION

To export the creation date, follow theses steps:

  1. Create an export file (for example, Test.csv) with the following header: 
          Obj-Class, Directory Name, When-Created
  2. From the Administrator program, go to Tools and select Directory Export.
  3. For the export filename, select the file created in Step 1 (Test.csv).
  4. Select the desired container and export objects, and then click Export.
The program should now export the creation date for each object in the selected container.

Note: The date/time exported is in universal time and is not formatted; for example, 980120211543Z corresponds to 1/20/98 3:15PM CST.

To export the date when an object was last changed, add "When- Changed" to the header of the export, and then export.
