Hi all,

I am trying to make a exchange public folder, as a mailbox
(http://www.msexchange.org/articles/MF021.html)

To implement this, I was told to use CDOEXM.dll and ACL.dll ( I got
this part done).

However, was not able to follow the samples/documentiation from
Exchange SDK March 2004:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=463F0649-627...

I am trying to follow the following samples from the SDK :
1. CreateUserURL and
2. CreateMailboxCDOPerson

Questions:
1. Do I have to use the CreateUserURL? Why is this step necessary?

CreateMailboxCDOPerson function

2. Is the CDO.Person, similar to CDO.Folder? Can I use the CDO.Folder
instead of CDO.Person?

3. A string variable ("CN=Mailbox Store (MYSTORE),CN=First Storage
Group,
CN=InformationStore,CN=MYSTORE,CN=Servers,
CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,

CN=IASI,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,
DC=mydomain,DC=fourthcoffee,DC=com") is used in the sample. Now, where
do I get the same information in the exchange? Do I have to specify the
whole string?

4. What is the significance of the 'ContainerName'? For a public
folder, can I leave it blank or should I set it to 'All Public
Folders'?

5. What should be the 'FirstName' and 'LastName' for a public folder?

We are using a VB application to create the public folder and trying do
the admin tasks from the client side.
Please provide guidance.

Thanks

In this case the public folder will always remain a public folder its just
that you are mail enabling the public folder. All the methods in that
article are giving you ways to make the public folder behave like a mailbox
but a public folder it will always be.

1. CreateUserURL and
2. CreateMailboxCDOPerson

These are methods from creating mailboxes on AD user accounts once you have
mail-enabled your public folder
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_cdo_enabling_a_folder_for_mail.asp
that as far as you can go.

What should be the 'FirstName' and 'LastName' for a public folder?

Because its a public folder these properties aren't valid, Just have a look
at any mail-enabled public folder in Outlook and you'll see what properties
can be set. To set these properties CDO.Folder is an appropriate Interface

Cheers
Glen
