Mailbox information |
|
|
Hi,
we plan to implement a mailbox monitor as an administrative tool which gives
us several statistical and configuration information from one or more
exchange 2003 mailboxes.
The configuration information I want to retrieve is:
Is the mail box the default information store or is the information stored
in a PST (I think this information is stored in the client profile but
perhaps...)
Are there server side rules in the mailbox and if yes what are they doing?
Which users can access this mailbox.
How can I get these informations? I am familiar with CDO but I think, to get
this information I have to use ADSI or WEBDAV.
Any hints to that?
Thanks for any help
Patrick

You can gather this type of information using WMI on a Exchange 2003 server
have a look at the Exchange_mailbox class see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_wmiref_cl_Exchange_Logon.asp .
With this you can get some information about how the users are connecting eg
what version of Oultook they are using and if your using Outlook 2003 you
can also get information on whether your users are using Cache mode or not.
What you cant get is information regarding wether they have a PST configured
or what is the default store all this information is stored on the local PC
in the PC's registry so this is where you would need to retrieve it from.
Server side rules are a little tricky as well you'll need to connect to each
mailbox to work this out so you need to look at using MAPI to read the Rules

Thanks for this detailed information. There is one question left. Do I have
to install WMI components on my client or can I connect to the WMI on the
server?
Thanks

WMI will already be installed on the server and workstations from Win 2000
up unless you have removed or disabled it for some reason (which im not sure
is actually possible) so you should be okay. WMI can be used either locally
or remotely you do need to have Exchange Admin permissions to start querying
the Exchange WMI namespaces.
