Notes

  • You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators or the Power Users group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.

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

  • Duplicate regions will be ignored.

  • The Regions Editor is not case-sensitive.

  • The Regions Editor does not accept more than 30 characters for a region name.

  • A region name must not contain a double quotation mark (") or a comma (,).

  • To import correctly into Phone Book Administrator (PBA), a region file must be in .pbr format. A number on the first line corresponds with the number of regions the file contains. For example:

3
Alaska 
Arizona 
California

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
