vba on Exchange Server

P

PeterQ

Hello Team !

I have some questions about the possibility to access the Exchange
Server (we are using now version 5.5) using code in VBA.

Is it possible to add/edit/delete new user-accounts and mailboxes to the
Exchange Server, adding and changing options such as roles for
user-accounts, usernames and so on, using VBA ? I will also have to add
custom properties to both user-accounts and mailboxes that I will want
to interpret in Outlook clients.

If so, what tools will I need to do this ? Will I have to access a COM
object that is already present in the Exchange Server environment ? Can
I do this directly using code written in Outlook macros or do I need to
purchase the Redemption library for this ?

Please, Team, can you give some information on this ?

greetings
PeterQ

Hi Peter

Some of the stuff you write confuse me a little, do you want to write
triggers/rules for excange servers (to run there) or do you want direct
acces, from within the Outlook, to the management facilities of
excange ?

Writing rules and triggers for excahnge using VB is no problem, using
CDO and ADSI (see the book Programming Outlook and Microsoft Excange
by Thomas Rizzo - it is easy to read an shows powerfull tecnics).

It should also be said that excange 5.5 is old, and I am not sure how much
programming control you have over it. Doing some of the stuff you describe
is certanly possible with Excange 2000/2003, but I am not sure if you can
do it with version 5.5, perhaps some of the MVP's know if this can be
done.



Regards.
