[All Associate Google Workspace Administrator Questions]

Your organization recently deployed Google Workspace. Over 3,000 external contacts were shared in public folders in Microsoft Exchange before the implementation. You need to ensure that these external contacts appear to domain users in Gmail. What should you do?

AExport the external contacts to a CSV file, upload the file to Google Drive, and instruct users to import to their My Contacts.

BUse Google Cloud Directory Sync to sync the external contacts from the public folders in Microsoft Exchange to the Directory.

CUse the Domain Shared Contacts API to add the external contacts to the Directory.

DCreate a user account, add the external contacts, and delegate them to all users in the domain.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Domain Shared Contacts API allows you to add external contacts to the Google Workspace directory, making them available to all users in the domain. This is the most effective and scalable solution for adding a large number of external contacts (like the 3,000 from Microsoft Exchange) to your Google Workspace environment. Once the contacts are added to the directory, they will be accessible to all users in Gmail and other Google Workspace apps.

I agree with Bulah, it seems like the most efficient way to ensure all users have access to the external contacts.

I'd go with Option C. Using the API seems more robust than relying on a CSV file or a user account. Plus, it's probably more scalable for a 3,000 contact migration.

I think we should use Google Cloud Directory Sync to sync the external contacts from Microsoft Exchange to the Directory.

Option B seems like the most straightforward solution. Syncing the external contacts directly from Exchange to the Directory is the easiest way to get them into Gmail.
