Wildcards in Unity Connection Bulk Admin Tool

[Vince Cannizzaro]

  Hi everyone,

I'm working on Unity Connection 8.5.  I need to use the Bulk Administration Tool to enable SMTP Notification Device to email users when they have a new voicemail message.  There are 3000 users that need this update - I'm wondering instead of typing in each individual's email address in the .csv file can I use a wildcard variable instead such as %alias%@companyname.com?  (Similar to using %username% variable in Windows)

Thank you.

Vince

Vince,

If your Unity usernames are in the same format as your email addresses, you should be able to export all of the users via BAT and then in excel use this formula in the SmtpAddress_TextPageer1 field:

=A1&"@companyname.com" 

where A1 is the username field. This will combine the value in A1 with @companyname.com.

Save the excel file as a CSV and run a user update in BAT.

should take you less than 5 minutes.
