I'm a new programmer (VB) and have been asked to create a script that would automatically capture specific
attachments sent to a specific distribution list and save them to a folder. What technologies would you
suggest I use?
My boss suggested LDAP - however I work for a large corporation and can't imagine that I would be allowed
admin privileges to our exchange server (unsure how LDAP works)
Any other ideas?
Why not Exchange/Outlook do the job?
Do you know of where I can read up on some documentation on how to do it?
Thanks for your input.
In outlook with rules and allerts.
See tools menu.
With exchange you can use policies. Perhaps you can do it with that.
The problem is I need to do it programmatically because there are roughly 4 different kinds of attachments we
will receive, some having the same extension, I can't count on the name of the file, will have to open it and
read the title of the document, and some will come with the same name as others therefore I would have to
change the title of the repeating documents in order to save them to the same folder, etc.
What about script sinks?
If you need help just send me an email.
