hi i have developed a web-based helpdesk tool that use's adsi/cdoexm so helpdesk can create a new mail enabled user etc. this works fine. how long does it takefor exchange to properly enable the new mailbox ? as the second part of my app sends an email to the newly created mailbox as a welcome message and also i thought with exchange 2003 this completes the mailbox creation, which is required so my last part of the web application silently sets the required permissions. my problem is i get an ndr for the welcome message and then of course the set permissions part will not work either, is there a better way programically to 'touch' the mailbox to complete the mailbox creation ? cheers j
Depends on how long it takes the changes to get to the DC that the RUS is watching, then how it long it takes those changes to get to the DCs being used by the Exchange Server hosting the mailboxes. -- Joe Richards Microsoft MVP Windows Server Directory Services Author of O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition www.joeware.net ---O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition now available--- http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm j wrote: > hi > > i have developed a web-based helpdesk tool that use's adsi/cdoexm so > helpdesk can create a new mail enabled user etc. this works fine. > > how long does it takefor exchange to properly enable the new mailbox ? > > as the second part of my app sends an email to the newly created mailbox as > a welcome message and also i thought with exchange 2003 this completes the > mailbox creation, which is required so my last part of the web application > silently sets the required permissions. > > my problem is i get an ndr for the welcome message and then of course the > set permissions part will not work either, is there a better way > programically to 'touch' the mailbox to complete the mailbox creation ? > > cheers > > j > >
