Sending Mail Thro' Exchange Server ( Without Outlook Profile)
Hi,
I have written a client-server application. Now i am planning to include email functionality in my
application. I was asked to add the functionality in the server side and the client should invoke a
function in the server to send the mail.
I thought i can do it with MAPI or CDO lib. But it seems both requires exchange server profile configured
in the server machine. All the sample codes written using MAPI/CDO uses a local profile to connect to
exchange server ( which is running in another machine ). SMTP is not secured. So, I cant use CDONTS
or SMTP or WINSOCK to send mails.
Is there a way to directly connect to the exchange server to send mail ( I was given a generic userid/password,
exchange server host name )? If you know a C++ or VB code which does this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Poochi..

Users Profile Path
Can someone assist me in creating a line of code that will get me to the users profile directory. In other words, if he is logged in as Administrator or Joeblogg, I need to get at that dirctory to do some file manipulation.
for ex........ this is part of a batch file
cd %userprofile%
rd "local settings emp"
Ive looked at the API "GetUserName", I think that might work if I use that as a variable and add a "" behind it with the appropriate sub folders but Im hoping for a better way.
thanks in advance

Difficult: Sending Outlook Meeting Appointments To Outlook And Exchange
I've seen partially useful postings, but nothing clear enough to understand how to solve this problem.
Here's what I want to accomplish:
. my meeting application chooses a date and users (from a calendar and drop down list)
. the app then sends email to the list of people with the meeting info
When the outlook client receives the email they are prompted the normal way to add the meeting to their outlook. I don't want to rewrite exchange, just deliver mtg info.
Anyone with sample code or even a pointer to info on how I may solve this problem?
Thx!

Logon New Profile In Outlook
Send Email with changing Outlook Profiles:
I use MAPI.Session object and MAPI.Message object in order to send email with the option to change the from field by changing outlook profile.
In order to change Outlook Profile, I log with new profile. This operation is been done by MAPI.Session.logon function. This function receive ProfileName, ProfilePassword and ShowDialog parameters.
If ShowDialog is true, the user must enter profile name and profile password regardless ProfileName, ProfilePassword define in the logon function.
If ShowDialog is false, the logon been done by ProfileName, ProfilePassword.
In win32, there is a defect. The profilePassword parameter is ignored on all Win32 platforms.
I want to know if there is away to log to new profile without using ShowDialog=True in objSession.logon function. (I develop automatic application, without user interference)
example: objSession.Logon ProfileName:=name, ProfilePassword:=pass, ShowDialog:=False, NewSession:=True, nomail:=True
Note: I can't create smtp protocol, our company policy is : use written things (outlook), don't invent existing functionalty.
Outlook Profile Password
Greetings!
I have a problem with Outlook profile password. I have a PC with Outlook 2000 install on it and configure with different profile (already configure). I also use that PC to run scheduled process in the morning and want it to send me an email confirming the process.
I have the code that sent the email to work fine with one email account but because I use multiple profile, it ask me for the password.
This is my code:
Private Sub SendMail()
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookName As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim CallDescription As String
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objOutlookName = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
objOutlookName.Logoff
objOutlookName.Logon "user1", "user1", False, True
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objOutlookMsg
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("user2@company.com")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
.Subject = "Updating completed successfully!"
.Body = "Great job. "
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
.Display
.Send
End With
objOutlookName.Logoff
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
With the ShowDisplay set to false I get this error message:
"Run-time error '-2044706811 (86204005)':
Cannot create e-mail message because a location to send and receive messages could not be found. To add a location, click the Tools menu, click Services, and then click the Delivery tab."
but if I set the ShowDisplay and enter the password manually, it works fine. I have also tried MAPI.
Does anyone have any ideal on how to fix this.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Husky.
Retrieve Outlook Profile Name
I need to be able to get the name of the current profile name in
use by Outlook. For example if I have one profile called
"ProfileWork" and another called "ProfilePersonal" and I log into
Outlook using the "ProfilePersonal" profile, in one of my programs
I need to read a file which is created by the profile and named
from the profile name.
So if I dont know which profile (in case there are more than one
profiles for the user) is currently being used, I won't know which
file to open and my program data will be irrelevalent to the user's
profile.
I know its a long shot that someone may know, but it will really
help me.
Thanks in advance for any help or direction.
Setting Up Outlook Profile
Hello,
We are in the process of upgraded 10000 users from NT4 to W2k. Most of the user setup has been scripted for the techs. However, they still must configure Outlook manually for each user. Although it only takes a minute, x10000 users it is an added pain. It seems the profile info is stored in a .pip file which can't be accessed directly. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to use maybe the MS dlls to modify the pip file. Thanks!

We are migrating thousands of users to a different Exchange system and I have most of what we need figured out but I haven't found a good way to tell Outlook where the .pst file is located. Has anyone ever done this sucessfully? I was hoping there would be a nice, neat registry entry but there doesn't seem to be.

Read/configure Outlook Profile
I think this question's been asked many a time before, but here goes...
We have Exchange Server 2000 and multiple Win 2K Pro PC's that access it. When I log into my computer I set up my Outlook's Microsoft Exchange Server profile through Control Panel/Mail, and when I start Outlook it goes right in. When someone else logs into my computer, they get the Setup wizard and they have to choose "Microsoft Exchange Server" and enter the server name.
Is there a way to write a program in VB that could execute with the NT login script, that would set up the user's profile? Thanks!

Open Other Outlook Profile And Export Calendar
Hi all
I have developed a new system which uses information from a number of different people's outlook calendars. At the moment I am having to go into each profile and manually export their calendars into an individual excel spreadsheet for each of them.
This works fine apart from the fact that there are now 75 people taking part in this system which means a lot of manual opening and closing of different people's mailboxes. I have set up a profile for each person on my computer, so what I need if possible is the following:
A macro that will go into a new person's profile and export their calendar to excel, then close the profile.
Does anyone have any starting points for me on this one. I believe I can work through the calendar export but I am struggling with the code for opening different profiles and closing them again.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Retrieving All Users In Room
My Network Chat Program is working really well, with one problem:
Getting a full list of users in the current room. Here is my current algorithm:
Public Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(...I forget the rest...)
Dim sData as string
Winsock1.getData sData
If Left(sData,12) = "/:SendMyName" then List1.additem mid(sdata,13)
End Sub
Public Sub Command1_Click()
Winsock1.senddata "/:SendMyName Grayda"
End Sub
Now, here are my winsock settings:
Socket: UDP Protocol
RemoteHost: 255.255.255.255
Local & Remote Port: 3155
In theory it works, but for some reason, it only adds the last user to enter the room. Any suggestions?
Retrieving Folder List And Comparing Them With Users
Hello
I am a systems administrator working with Active Directory an Exchange. I am trying to create a windows program to get a lis user home drive folders and then compare these to activ directory users. If the user does no exist then the progra should move the directory to a different location.
I am new to programming and am trying to do this in visual studi 2005 with VB.
To get the users i do this:
Private Sub Go_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e A System.EventArgs) Handles Go.Click
'New instance of Directory Searcher Class
Dim searcher As New DirectorySearcher
Dim result As SearchResult
'Declare the Variables
Dim programFilter As String
Dim userFilter As String
Dim searcherFilter As String
'Define a value for the variables
programFilter = "(&(objectClass=User)"
userFilter = emailtofind.Text
searcherFilter = (programFilter & userFilter)
'Set the Search Filter
searcher.Filter = searcherFilter
'Search the results and collect
Dim results As SearchResultCollection
results = searcher.FindAll()
'Display the Results
For Each result In results
resultsBox.Items.Add(result.Properties("name" )(0))
Next
End Sub
This actually searches for an email address but can be easil modified.
Then this to list folders:
Private Sub folderSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles folderSearch.Click
Di directories(IO.Directory.GetDirectories(folderL ocation.Text).Legth) As String
directories =3 IO.Directory.GetDirectories(folderLocation.Te xt)
For i As Integer = 0 To directories.Length - 1
folderList.Items.Add(directories(i))
Next
End Sub
End Class
But putting both together is the issue here.
Any ideas
Thanks

OutLook -> Exchange Server
Dear All,
I am currently writing a Discharge Letter system for the Hospital I work in. The system e-mails various administrators depending on what problems arise. To do this I have tagged the Outlook 9 reference, and written a quick e-mail routine to send the messages.
My problem lies with our through-flow of junior doctors. They may travel from one ward to another and use a host of computers around the hospital. Therefore, they need to set-up their details (i.e. the server and user name) for their e-mail account on each PC. Thankfully, there is only one mail server. I want to take this technical tid-bit away from the user, however, and perform the linking automatically.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Thank-you all in advance,
Paul.
Microsoft Outlook / Exchange
Hi,
I would like to enable the OUT OF OFFICE feature in Outlook. The help guide says I need Exchange. When I go to Tools and look for the Out of Office Assistant I do not see it. So I went to Tools/Options/Other/Advanced/Add-In and saw the Exchange Extensions Property Page and below a description for Out of Office. This button is check and should show me the Out of Office assistant on the toolbar but does not. We have Office XP professional. Does this exchange feature come with it or no? I am guessing no but my boss thinks otherwise.
Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Outlook Exchange Settings
Hi,
I need to know if it's possible to write code that will automate a right click on the Outlook icon -> properties -> Email Accounts -> View or change existing email accounts -> next -> select the Microsoft Exchange server -> change settings -> and then alter the user and possibly the exchange server. Most users are on Outlook 2000/2002
I know it sounds like a lot of effort for such a token job but I think my IT helpdesk is getting a bit annoyed with users desk swapping and complaining about not having email access.
Many thanks

Outlook And Exchange Server
Hi Guys,
I have a some problems here now, I am developing an outlook 2000 calendar appication using Vb6 to calculate the work hours of the staff in my school as my final project.
The problem am having is that the textbook am using is always talking about COM ADD INs which I dont understand so much cos, even though I have the codes to calculate the hours worked, I dont know where to place them exactly.
I've designed and launched the forrms and folders already.
But since I need the COM ADD INs, I dont know whether to place the codes there or just behind the forms.
The application is such a way that the server side (exchange) is where the main file is stored as (standard), the user's at the client side just need to open their outlook application to get connected to the server's. Each user can only see his worked hours which is stored in the server and his client machine after he has logged in.
Also the server should also be able to store the files (balance) so that each user knows whether he or she has some hours missing or over done just by clicking the balance file.
Hope to get some advice on this, any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Emailing Through Outlook/Exchange

MS Outlook And Exchange Server
Just a quick question to all your brainy people, We currently have an intermittent problem at work where somebody can send and Email from their PC, this then goes to the Exchange Server for our company, and for some reason it then continuosly repeats to send the email, so the client gets hundreds of emails.
Does anybody know why this would happen, or has heard of it before ?
Work is necessary for man. Man invented the alarm clock.
Automate Email - Exchange, Outlook
I would like to get some opinions and maybe a even little guidance, suggestions, etc. concerning my approach with regard to a project I am doing.
I am creating an application that will automatically email reports at periodic intervals.
The idea behind the application is as follows:
1. "Jobs" get stored in a database. (a "job" is all the information pertaining to a request.
i.e. Each instance of a job would capture the following:
Client#, contact, email, frequency, start date, expire date, active, report_type, etc..........
2. My application would kick-off at various times and check the database for jobs that are ready to be run.
3. The application would generate the appropriate report and create an email message, attach the report object to the message, and then send it.
I've created a prototype in Access that does this.
I started out using:
DoCmd.SendObject method.
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, acFormatRTF, email_address, , , "Testing", "This is really a test", True
This did not work so I found a Microsoft solution to the problem which I just copied and pasted code .... designed to function closely or mimic the DoCmd.SendObject
BELOW IS A SNIP OF THE CODE:
Set clsSendObject = New accSendObject
clsSendObject.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, accOutputRTF, _
email_address, , , "This is a test subject", "This is really a test", False
ou have a MAPI-compliant electronic mail application installed on your computer.
This works fine if the application is run on my desktop computer with a MAPI-compliant electronic mail application installed however, say I want to have the application execute on a server. Would I need to install Outlook on the server?
Can I bypass using Outlook (as well as the dialog box security that is show up because of Office 2000 SR security update)
and just use Exchange.....
I'm a bit confused as to how I can get my application to reside on on a server and talk to the exchange server ....
Does anyone have experience with this or suggestions....
Any help or suggestions would be MUCH APPRECIATED! Thanks.
