Bulk Provisioning of User Accounts
ShoreTel supports the bulk provisioning of user accounts from AD records through a two
step process:
Step 1 Export AD records to a CSV file.
Exporting AD Records describes this step.
Step 2 Import CSV records to the ShoreTel user database.
Importing the CSV File on page 71 describes this step.
Exporting AD Records
ShoreTel provides a VBScript file to export data records from an Active Directory database
to a CSV file. The VBScript file can be used as a template for specific ShoreTel system
requirements.
The parameter section of the file is shown in Figure 30. This section consist of two
subsections:
• The top section receives values from the AD database for each imported file. As
indicated in the comments section, one value can be assigned to individual fields for all
users by entering the value in place of the quotes.
• The bottom section is a data template containing non-AD fields that are saved to the
CSV file. The values entered in these fields are assigned to all records retrieved from the
AD database.
