rcUtilCmd Command—Import an Exported Address Book into the Local Address Book

The import command lets you import an exported address book.

The command has the following syntax:

import [-i exportedbook] [-r] [addressBookName] [addressBookDescription]

exportedbook

Specifies the same name that is used for the previously exported address book.

Note: You can specify the name without the .xml suffix.

-r

Specifies that the computers already existing in the destination address book will be replaced; otherwise, the replacement definition is ignored.

addressBookName

Specifies the name of a new address book to create or add to the local address book.

addressBookDescription

Specifies the description of the new address book.

The rcUtilCmd.exe program reads exportedbook and attempts to add its content to addressBookName, creating it if necessary. If addressBookName is not supplied, the content is added to a group with the name "Imported Address Book" at the root of local address book.

Where the imported book contains nested books, this structure is maintained in the destination local address book, and the nested content is imported.

Note: The import is always into the local address book of the currently logged on user.
