Hope you can help me on this one. I've been assigned the small (?) task of building the following application: - The application is be able to read all information for all users on a given Exchange Server. - The application may be deployed on other machines than the Exchange Server itself. - The application will eventually be distributed to clients as a Windows Service. I've been looking at various technologies for reading from an Exchange Server. ADO: Server side only. CDO + EX(M): Server side only. WebDAV: Not that widely supported. Extended MAPI: Requires an installed MAPI client w. user profile. These findings may or may not be right, by the way. Please feel free to comment. My sources sometimes disagree. So i apparently have to choose between Extended MAPI and WebDAV. Are there any pros and cons i've overlooked. Or possible solutions i've missed? Programming language and/or developement platform is of minor importance. Thanks in advance, Søren

Don't know what the equivalent is for non-MS OS's. Probably the easiest to use, too, since it only requires HTTP ports open between client and server.
