If the optional Criteria argument is not used, the Bulk Administration Manager exports all of the records of system contacts to the output file. Otherwise, the criteria argument is used to select only the applicable records to include, as described in the following table:

Criteria Syntax
Description

The default option. Includes all system contacts.

Includes only system contacts that are within the extension range specified by Starting and Ending.

When the following command is run, Bulk Administration Manager exports system contacts that are within the extension range 3000 through 5000 to the CSV file exportsubscribers.csv.

BulkAdministrationManager /export /systemcontacts /output:"c:\program files\csv\exportsystemcontacts.csv" /criteria:ExtRange;3000;5000

Also note that the command line arguments are not case sensitive, and that the order of the options is unimportant.
