Hi All,

I installed Exchange 2007 Beta 2 today and found that WMI class
support is not there for Exchange!!! And even to use MAPI we have to
install "ExchangeMapiCdo.EXE" to get required libraries. Any idea will
this be the same case in Exchange 2007 release also ?

Regards,
Shivaraj

Hello,

yes, that's also in the final.

Welcome to the wonderful world of web services :-)

Unfortunately, those WebServices do not support everything - public folders
for example are not supported at all.

Best regards,
Henning Krause

Hi Henning Krause,

Thanks for you quick reply. Its really strange.... Many applications
relay on WMI to get this info !!!
I installed "ExchangeMapiCdo.EXE" and able to retrive all
required info using MAPI. To test my code, I created public folder
using "Exchange Management Shell" but not getting how to post new
messages to that!! Any idea on this?

Regards,
Shivaraj

Hello,

public folders ae deceprated in Exchange 12 - you get them when you install
them manually. But OWA for public folder is gone.

To create a public folder, use Outlook. Or use an Exchange 2003 systems
manager, if you have an Exchange 2003 server left in the organization.

WebDAV, MAPI and CdoEx with ExOleDB will also work.

Best regards,
Henning Krause

This is an incorrect and misleading statement. Public folders in Exchange
2007 DO exist and should be installed if you are going to have a mix
organization to help facilitate a cross platform migration. Public folders
are what we called deemphasized if you don't want to use them and you can
use SharePoint services. OWA still exists for the public folder if you have
Exchange 2003 in the mix and all Outlook 2007 clients will use the
Availability service for free/busy. OOF, etc.

Come service pack 1 for Exchange 2007 there should be an interface to manage
public folders. To create a new public folder in the root of the public
folder tree on the closest mailbox server that has a public folder database,
run the following command: New-PublicFolder -Name "My Public Folder"

Note: If you do not specify a server, the cmdlet checks if the local server
is an Exchange 2007 mailbox server that has a public folder database. If it
is, the public folder is created locally. If it is not, Exchange finds the
closest (by site cost) Exchange 2007 Mailbox server that has a public folder
database on which to create the public folder.

To create a new public folder named "Pending" in an existing public folder
named "Legal" on the mailbox server named "My Server," run the following
command: New-PublicFolder -Name "Pending" -Path \Legal -Server "My Server"
