About this task

For example, you imported a large number of contacts into the database on February 18, 2018, and you set DuplicateContactsEarliestModificationDate to 02/19/2018 12:00 AM. Duplicate Contacts Finder does not process any contacts from your February 18 import unless you modified them after 12:00 am on February 19, 2018. Duplicate Contacts Finder does process contacts modified after that date and time.

The date and time for this entry must have the following format: 

mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm am
