To copy a phone book

  1. Open Phone Book Administrator.

  2. In Phone books, click the phone book to be copied.

  3. On the File menu, click Copy Phone Book.

  4. In New phone book name, type a new name for the copy.

    A phone book name must contain no more than eight characters, cannot consist of all digits, and must not contain a space or any of the following symbols: ! , ; * = / \ : ? ' " < > | . & % {} [] @ ( ) ยด ` ~

    If you are creating a customized phone book for use with a Connection Manager profile, the phone book name must match the one you typed in the Phone Book Updates pane in the Connection Manager Administration Kit Wizard.

    If you intend to administer a phone book from the command line, the path to the phone book should not contain any spaces.

  • To open Phone Book Administrator, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Phone Book Administrator.

  • You cannot copy a phone book to a pre-existing phone book name.

  • You can change options for this phone book at any time by clicking the phone book in Phone books and then, on the Tools menu, clicking Options.

  • All phone book data in the original phone book file is maintained in the copy except for the version number and the history. The default release directory is changed to the new name and the version number is reset to 1.
