Note:
Dbimpexp.exe tool is case sensitive when using /user:
switch
Issue: If the text in the /user: switch does not match
the case sensitivity exactly
as it is stored in the database, the following error
message appears.
The specified user was not found in the XML file.

same as the user portion of
the SIP URI stored in Active Directory and the host
portion of the URI must be
