Export and import phonebook data

You can export and import phonebook data in a comma separated values (csv) file. This is useful for example if you want to copy phonebook data from one computer to another.

You can also populate the phonebook using existing data from another system, for example by importing data from Active Directory.

Scripts can use the phonebook data to call Hosts.

Export phonebook data

1.Select a folder in the left pane of the Phonebook tab or select one or multiple phonebook records in the right pane.
2.On the File menu, select Export.
3.In the displayed dialog box, specify the path to and name of the csv file that you want to save the phonebook records to.

If you specify only a file name, the export file will be saved to the folder in which the Netop Guest is installed.

4.Select the Export Passwords check box if you want to include passwords for the phonebook records in the csv file.
5.Click OK.

You cannot export all Connection Properties properties for a phonebook record. This applies to the properties on the Display tab, the Keyboard/Mouse tab, the Compression/Encryption tab, the Desktop tab, and the Record tab, but you can specify these properties when importing.

Csv file syntax

The csv file is a plain text file. For each phonebook record, the file contains a line of values separated by commas according to this syntax:

<Folder path>,<Description>,<Phone number>,<Name>,<Comment>,<Communication profile>,<Host logon name>,<Host logon password>,<Host logon domain>, <Gateway logon name>,<Gateway logon password>,<Gateway logon domain>, <Protect item password>,<Wake on LAN MAC address>,<Logon credentials flags>,<Custom application description>,<Custom application command line>.

Passwords will be encrypted as 32-digit hexadecimal checksums with the prefix ENCRYPTED:.
