SUMMARY
=======

Using directory export, it is possible to extract all connector information from
the directory to a CSV file. This can be useful for analyzing connector
information, because unlike saving the routing information, all option fields
are exposed.

MORE INFORMATION
================

A command line export needs to be used to extract the connector information. The
following is an example of the command line:

  Admin /E <export file> /O <option file>

The option file used should look like the following example:

     [export]
     ExportObject=All
     Subcontainers=Yes
     Basepoint=/o=<Your Org Name>/ou=<Our Site Name>/cn=Configuration
     Container=Connections

The Export CSV file can contain any or all of the following connector related
fields in the header:

  Obj-Class
  Delivery-Mechanism
  Directory Name
  Home-MTA
  Home-Server
  Accept messages from
  Accept messages from DL
