Exchange Server

kishore · Guest

Hi,
I have an application in which I need to programmatically modify an
addresslist in Exchange to add new addresses/contact to it or delete ones.

The problem is that I'm not sure if I will have permission to install
Exchange SDK, or CDOEX on the machines on which my application is going to
run.

I'm a little familiar with ADSI and looked at some of the examples in msdn
regarding ADSI and Exchange, but they weren't that helpul for this situation.

2 questions:

1. If I were able to install CDOEX on the machines, is CDOEX dependent on
any other components?

2. I'm a newbie to LDAP, is it possible to modify an addresslist through
ADSI/LDAP without using CDOEX or exchange SDK? If so, can some one direct me
or show some sample code on doing so?

Thanks.

CDOEX is only supported locally on a Exchange server have a read of
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_techsel_tech_3.asp

What type of addresslist are you trying to modify eg are you trying to add
member to a mailenabled distribution (or security) Active Directory group,
or are you trying to add and remove users from a Contact folder Distribution
List in a public folder or users contacts folder ?

If its an AD group than there are a lot of samples out there of adding users
to a group eg

set groupobj = getobject(LdapDNGroup)
groupboj.add (LdapDNusertoadd)
groupobj.setinfo

If its a Contact folder Distribution List then you need to use an Exchange
API to do it, one method is to use CDO 1.2 have look at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=178787 which has some code to do this

Another way is to reuse some OWA commands there are a couple of samples of
how to do this at
http://www.infinitec.de/pages/?page=knowledge&category=kb&id=IT000019 and

Cheers
