The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q264587

SYMPTOMS

When you try to import a .csv file into an Exchange Server folder with the Home-MDB attribute, you may receive the following error message:
The Home-MDB attribute is not directly importable.
Also, the following event is logged in the application event log:
Event ID: 154
Source: MSExchangeDSImp
Category: none
Type: Error
Description: The attribute Home-MDB is not directly importable
Also, the following event is logged in the application event log:
Event ID: 154
Source: MSExchangeDSImp
Category: none
Type: Error
Description: The attribute Home-MTA is not directly importable.

CAUSE

If you use the Headers.exe utility to export your Exchange Server folder attributes to a .csv file and select all attributes, the Home-MDB and Home-MTA attributes are created in the .csv file. If you then export your folder to the .csv file and later use the .csv file to import, the import procedure does not work because you cannot import the Home-MDB and Home-MTA attributes.

RESOLUTION

Before you perform the import procedure, edit the .csv file that you created from the Headers.exe utility, and then delete the columns of the Home-MDB and Home-MTA attributes.
