    Use iTunes to sync your contacts to outlook on your computer, then move them to your Exchange account.

    If these are Exchange contacts, you will not be able to do that. Exchange contacts reside on the Exchange server, and can only be accessed in Outlook when it is actually on a device that is connected directly to the server. Most outside access to the Exchange contacts is just when typing in the name into a mail. You would have to check with your Exchange administrator to see if you can download from their server to your home computer. This is generally not allowed.
