Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Applications / December 2006how to create MAPI profile without knowing single mailbox in a exchange server?
Hi, I saw one question posted based on MAPI asking what is exactly profile... even i have similer queries... to get exchange server information i am using "CreateProfile" and providing 3 parameters as profilename, mailbox name and server name. And using this profile i am able to retrieve other mailboxes information and public folder information... My question is 1. If I connect to somebody else (say customer) exchange server, without knowing even a single mail box name in that exchange server, how to create this profile? 2. How to delete existing unwanted profiles? 3. If i create a profile usin any mailbox name in a server, i am able to retrieve all information of other users mailbox also!!! how this is possible? Please help in understanding the concepts clearly of this MAPI connection. Regards, john "john" <levi2john@gmail.com> wrote in news:1164884460.240896.22540 @f1g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: > 1.

How would you do this in (say) Outlook? If they've allowed anonymous access, you could connect that way and get the GAL, or point an LDAP client at the server and try and get the name of something that way.

Which information are you reading that you don't expect to be able to read? (Are you the same person as shivaraj? It's confusing trying to work out which questions need answering for them, and which for you -- it would be much easier if you'd stick to one identity when posting, or if you're co-workers, if only one of you could post questions). -- dan Hi , Thanks for earlier comments but could any one please help in clarifying/resolving other things wrt MAPI ? 1. Is is possible to get Exchange MAILBOX STORE name using MAPI ? the hierarchy of System manager is : First Organization -> Server -> First Storage Group -> Mailbox Store -> Mailboxes I know which server i am connected to and i am able to get all maiboxes in that server using "GetMailboxTable" for that server. But not getting on which "mailbox store" these mailboxes are sitting. I have 4 mailbox stores each corresponding to 10 mailboxes. I am ablet to get all 40 mailboxes but not getting the mapping of mailbox to mailbox store. Found a related article in net http://groups.google.co.in/group/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging/bro wse_frm/thread/3b3f879248ffa3ac/aedeb755d30d6012?lnk=st&q=MAPI+%2B+retrieve+all+ mailbox+stores&rnum=1&hl=en#aedeb755d30d6012 saying its not possible through MAPI ... is that so? 2. I have one more setting where in 2 cluster nodes are having exchagne server installed and configured as exchange virtual server ( exchange cluster ). in that "HrOpenExchangePrivateStore" and "HrOpenExchangePublicStore" functions are failing returning some big negative number. Any inputs for this? ( Note: the first parameter to these function is a session to MAPI and that is created successfully). Let me know if anyone wants to have code access.... Please let me know your views as this is very urgent for me.

I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure, sorry. That said, if Dmitry and Siegfried both think it's not possible, then I'd be pretty sure it's not possible.. You could do what's mentioned there and use ADSI (or LDAP) to try and get more info about where the mailbox lives, I guess. > 2.

Any inputs for this? Well, the very large negative number will be a HRESULT -- try using 'error lookup' in devstudio, or 'err.exe', or just poke around in the header files to find out what the actual error is. That should point you in the right direction. -- dan Hi Dan, Thanks for your quick reply. > Well, the very large negative number will be a HRESULT -- try using > 'error lookup' in devstudio, or 'err.exe', or just poke around in the > header files to find out what the actual error is. That should point you > in the right direction. The error code I am getting is 80004005 and the info I got regarding this is "80004005 as meaning the script could not access your data. The most likely reason is a permissions related problem". To make sure this is the problem with permissions I installed "Exchange Explorer" tool and through this i am able to access the public folder information by providing "http://evs_server/public/" as 'Exchange store URL' with other priviledges. (where evs_server is the exchange EVS name). So not sure why this is failing here.

I don't know enough (anything) about how clusters / virtual servers work, so I'm not sure where to start. I suppose you could check permissions and whatnot, change your code to log in as an admin or something, but I'm just guessing at this point. good luck! -- dan No problem Dan. Once again thanks for your valuable suggestions which helped me to clarify many things in exchange as I was totally new to this !!! Meanwhile does anybody have answer for my previous question? Even if somebody has a VB script which will collect mailbox and public folder properties in EXCHANGE CLUSTER environment, will be helpful for me to understand the permissions and access privileges to get my code work. I tried many VB scripts (webdev, cdo, exoledb) which are able to collect info in stand alone machine but failing with 80004005 error for Exchange cluster. Seems to be some permissions issue but no idea what's going wrong!!
