Import from File Dialog Box

Adds computers from external comma, semicolon, colon, or tab-delimited text files to CCM.

NOTE: Files containing previously imported CCM computer data must have been exported using the CCM Edit Computer Properties Dialog "Export to File" button.

Files produced with the MMC Export List function (available from the Computers object context menu) can be used in other external applications, but not imported to CCM.

If the file you want to import is saved in a different format, the entire content of the file displays in the ID column. Click Settings to open the file in the correct format.
