How to link Contact and Exchange User (GAL)

[Olivier Lemonnier]

Hi All,
I know how to create Exchange contact in mailbox but I can’t link my contact to a Exchange Mailbox (Global Access List).


RDOMail item = folder.Items.Add("IPM.Contact");
RDOContactItem contact = (RDOContactItem)item;
contact.Email1AddressType = “EX”;
contact.Email1Address = "/o=Exchange-staples/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=desdemonias"; //legacyExchangeDN
contact.Save();

When I click on EmailAddress Field Contact via Outlook, it doesn’t link to GAL Exchange user.

I also try this code but it doesn’t work too.

RDOMail item = folder.Items.Add("IPM.Contact");
RDOContactItem contact = (RDOContactItem)item;
String Email1AddressTypeTmp = contact.Email1AddressType;
String Email1AddressTmp = contact. Email1Address;
String Email1AddressIDTmp= contact.Email1EntryID;

contact.Email1AddressType = Email1AddressTypeTmp;
contact.Email1Address = Email1AddressTmp;
contact.Email1EntryID = Email1AddressIDTmp;
contact.Save();

I think, I need to initialize another properties but I don’t know wich one…


Thank you so much for your help !

Try to set the EMail1EntryId property - it will update the other 3
properties (address, name, address type)

Hi! Thank you for your reply.
Exactly if i set only the EMail1EntryId property, the link works fine but
when i display the list of contact, i see the legacyExchangeDN and not the
mail1 address.

See my screen :

Thanks for catching that.
I sent a version of the dll that fixes that issue to your private e-mail
address.

If developpers need to get the entryID :

String entryIDUser = session.AddressBook.ResolveName(user, false,
"").EntryID;
//user can be "Login", "firstName" or "lastName".
contact.Email1EntryID = entryIDUser;


If i can suggest a remark,
When i link my contact to Exchange user via Outlook, the format
Email1DisplayName is "FirstName LastName (Email1Address)".

When i link it via Redemption.dll, the format Email1DisplayName is
"FirstName LastName".

Cordialy,

Hi Dmitry,

I come back about error in my test environnement Windows Server 2003 64 bits
with Exchange Server 64bits.
When i try to use Redemption.dll in Server 2003 X64, i get this error :

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID
{29AB7A12-B531-450E-8F7A-EA94C2F3C05F} failed due to the following error:
80040154.

I install Redemption.dll with these command but I still get the error.
%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Redemption\Redemption.dll"

%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Redemption\Redemption.dll"

Can you help me, please.

Thank so much.

Make sure your app is compiled as 32 bit only: since MAPI is 32 bit, and
Redemption loads it in-proc, Redemption must also be 32 bit. Which, since
Redemption is an in-proc COM library, requires that the calling app must be
32 bit.

When and if MS releases the 64 bit version of MAPI, there will be a 64 bit
version of Redemption.

Thank you Dmitry.

Yés, the problem was the value of my Platform target "Any CPU".
I changed it to "x86".
Now, I need to change the Application Pool of my IIS Server. (Enable 32 Bits
Application)

I can change it with this command but i don't want to break my Exchange
Server 2007.
"cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 "true""

Have you ever do it ?

Thank you.

Hi Dmtry,

Okay, many Web sites talk about this option and Exchange Server 2007.
And they say that it Break OWA, so I'll used redemption in Windows Server
2003 32 Bits.
