Can't access IMailbox properties

Can't access IMailbox properties

I'm trying this:

Dim oPrsn As New CDO.Person
oPrsn.DataSource.Open("mailto:myuserid@mydomain.com")
Dim iMbx As CDO.IMailbox = oPrsn.GetInterface("IMailbox")

When accessing any of the mailbox object properties a "<error: an exception 
of type: {System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException} occurred>" exception is 
thrown. This happened with any mailbox I tested. Any ideas?

TIA

Re: Can't access IMailbox properties

Have you tried using the Ldap distinguished name instead does this make a 
difference. Where are you running the code from generally CDOEX is only 
supported locally on a Exchange server with the IMailbox interface because 
this uses Exoledb this in the case.

Cheers

Re: Can't access IMailbox properties

Tried LDAP dn, same result.

In a private message I asked yoav:
Okay, what LDAP dn did you try? Does it match the reverse LDAP path in AD 
User's Computers? Did you actually connect to the LDAP DC first? Did you 
connect to the GC first?


His answer was:
I used this:

LDAP://NET/CN=myuserid,OU=Developers,OU=Clients,OU=North,DC=net,DC=iec,DC=co,DC=il

which is the full adsPath of the user object in AD.  I'm not sure I 
understand your question about connecting to the LDAP DC and GC.

First, does "NET" have a fully qualified domain name?  If so, use it and let 
me know what happens.
If not, then proceed to the following.

The GC is the Global Catalog server.  You can initially bind to it and then 
get a server from it to run your LDAP query against.  Like:

Dim LDAPProvider As ActiveDs.IADs
Dim DSObject As ActiveDs.IADsOpenDSObject
Dim User As ActiveDs.IADsUser

If User Is Nothing Then

LDAPProvider = GetObject("GC://<the domain name>/RootDSE")
DomainName = LDAPProvider.Get("defaultnamingcontext")
DomainServer = LDAPProvider.Get("ServerName")
DomainServer = Mid(DomainServer, 4, InStr(DomainServer, ",") - 4)
DomainServer = DomainServer & ".<your domain name>"

DSObject = GetObject("LDAP:")
DomainServer = "LDAP://" & DomainServer & "/CN=" & UserName & ",OU=<your 
OU>,OU=<your OU>,OU=<your OU>," & DomainName
User = DSObject.OpenDSObject(DomainServer, LoginName, LoginPasswd, 
ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION + ADS_SERVER_BIND)

.. . .

Re: Can't access IMailbox properties

Hi Andrew,

Using the fully qualified domain name
(LDAP://NET.IEC.CO.IL/CN=myuserid,OU=Developers,OU=Clients,OU=North,DC=net,DC=iec,DC=co,DC=il)
didn't solve the problem.

I tried your code and got a dn which looks like this:

LDAP://ServerName.net.iec.co.il/CN=myuserid,OU=Developers,OU=Clients,OU=North,DC=net,DC=iec,DC=co,DC=il

but I still receive the same error from mailbox properties.

Thanks

Re: Can't access IMailbox properties

Oh, never mind.  It was something to do with a file not found.

I now doubt that the problem is related to the LDAP.

Have you looked to manually to see if the mailbox is there (through Exchange 
System Manager)?

If the mailbox is there then your program is trying to access a file 
(probably a reference dll or configuration file or something) and can't find 
it.

Re: Can't access IMailbox properties

This is the error I'm getting:

error: an exception of type: {System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException}
occurred

> Have you looked to manually to see if the mailbox is there (through Exchange

It's my own mailbox ;)
