I'm really sorry, I'm very new VB and I'm trying to learn as I go along. I am trying to run a program that will allow me to get a list of mail users by using the Exchange Management Shell via managed code. I am running the program and I am not getting any errors but I'm not getting any results either. Can someone please help me out. Is there something I am doing wrong??

My Code:

PublicClassfrmEmailValidation

Dim username AsString = "server\username"

Dim password = "password"

Dim Count AsInteger

Function GetUsersUsingBasicAuth( _

ByVal LiveIDConnectionUri AsString, ByVal ScehmaUriAsString, _

ByVal Credentials AsPSCredential, ByVal Count AsInteger)AsCollection(OfPSObject)

Dim ConnectionInfo AsWSManConnectionInfo = _

NewWSManConnectionInfo(NewUri(LiveIDConnectionUri), ScehmaUri, Credentials)

ConnectionInfo.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Basic

ScehmaUri = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange"

LiveIDConnectionUri = "http://exchangeserver/Powershell?serializationLevel=Full"

Credentials = New PSCredential(username, password)

Dim RemoteRunspace AsRunspace

RemoteRunspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(ConnectionInfo)

Return GetUserInformation(Count, RemoteRunspace)

Count = 5

Dim RemotePowerShell AsPowerShell = PowerShell.Create

RemotePowerShell.AddCommand("Get-mailboxdatabase")

RemotePowerShell.AddParameter("ResultSize", Count)

' Open the remote runspace on the server.

RemoteRunspace.Open()

' Associate the runspace with the Exchange Management Shell.

RemotePowerShell.Runspace = RemoteRunspace

' Invoke the Exchange Management Shell to run the command.

Return RemotePowerShell.Invoke

EndFunction

I want to create (and delete) calendar items in Outlook 2007 (and Exchange 2007).

I do this with soap calls in SOAP UI 5.0.0.

I created an event in my own calendar (without the typ:ExchangeImpersonation part).

So now I want to create an event in an other user's calendar.

I have an admin account, who got al rights to do this.

But when I configure my endpoint and Authorization (NTLM) to the admins credentials, I get this as response:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><s:Body><s:Fault><faultcode xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">a:ErrorImpersonateUserDenied</faultcode><faultstring xml:lang="nl-BE">The account does not have permission to impersonate the requested user.</faultstring><detail><e:ResponseCode xmlns:e="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/errors">ErrorImpersonateUserDenied</e:ResponseCode><e:Message xmlns:e="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/errors">The account does not have permission to impersonate the requested user.</e:Message></detail></s:Fault></s:Body></s:Envelope>

Admin got all the rigths to do this (normally).

So how can I create an event in another users calendar, with SOAP calls?

Is this with the use of typ:ExchangeImpersonation ?

C++ CryptProtectData - Exchange MAPI Profile - How to set variables

July 15, 2014, 3:32 am

≫ Next: Sync only User Email Folders

≪ Previous: Impersonating user with Soap calls

Hi,

i am trying to use the CryptProtectData function so i can encrypt my password and use it inside my MAPI profile. I am using these 2 ttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/05/21/how-to-mfcmapi-create-mapi-profile-exchange-2013.aspx
and ttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/07/15/create-profile-connect-mfcmapi-to-office-365.aspx articles for connecting to my hosted exchange(2013) account with MFCMAPI. When setting all my properties i am being prompted for my credentials, and there i got the problem that the field provided for the domain is too short for my domain. So i have to set these properties manually (howto is described in the second article).

Now i need to set my username and password in my MAPI profile and it seems like i need to encrpyt the password by my own (i have to build an application to do so). I am using "MAPI Download configuration guidance.docx" (can be downloaded from - www. microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39045 - the piece of code i am using is at the end of the document) for building my own application to encrypt my password (i am using the smaller example for just encrypting the password, not for creating the whole profile). There i got a lot of problems, the application didnt run on a 32bit Windows, than the crypt32.lib was missing (i had to create it by my own) and so on. Now i got it running on a 64bit machine, but now i am not sure how to provide my data to the program.

I have the following code:

      std::string stemp = "myPassword";
      std::wstring stemp1 = std::wstring(stemp.begin(), stemp.end());
      LPWSTR pwszPassword = (LPWSTR)stemp1.c_str();//stemp.c_str();//
      HRESULT     hr = S_OK;
      DATA_BLOB   dataBlobIn = {0};
      DATA_BLOB   dataBlobOut = {0};
      SPropValue  propValues[2] = {0};
      // Validate parameters
      // Encrypt password based on local user authentication
      dataBlobIn.pbData = (LPBYTE)pwszPassword;
      // Include NULL character
      dataBlobIn.cbData = (::wcslen(pwszPassword) + 1) * sizeof(WCHAR);
      CryptProtectData(
            &dataBlobIn,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            0,
            &dataBlobOut);
     std::cout<<"\n-- ";
     std::wcout<<(dataBlobOut.cbData);
     std::cout<<" --\n";
     std::wcout<<(dataBlobOut.pbData);

Now when outputting these 2 values, for dataBlobOut.cbData i mostly get "230" (i thought that this might change when i change the size of the password, but it does not, it has the same value for passwords like "aaa", "bbb","cc" ...), and for dataBlobOut.pbData i get a Hexadezimal value (something like 0x2cde50) i think it is the address of the variable, since pbData is a pointer.

Since i am getting the exact same values for diffrente passwords i assume that my approach is not right. But what do i have to change to get my encrypted password so i can fill the property PR_PROFILE_AUTH_PASSWORD ?

Kind regards

P.s. since i need to verify my account to post links, but i cannot because the thread for verifying is closed i will just cripple the links

Sync only User Email Folders

Hey guys,

Is there a way, when calling syncFolderHierarchy - or possibly something else, to filter only for the folders the user has created himself. This would exclude all calendar, notes, default folders like Inbox, Spam, Deleted.

The best way I've found is just to look at the folder name and compare it to the WellKnownFolderName list of enum values and make sure the folder class is of type "IPF NOTE". This seems pretty hacky, but I don't see another choice. Anyone have a better idea?

Hi,

When running a powershell (scheduled) through a batchfile I get a dr. Watson error:

But when I run this script from the Exchange Management Shell manually it works normally.

I tried this in the script, but that doesn't work either:

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://casserver.ourdomain.com/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos
Import-PSSession $Session

The servers are running Exchange 2010 SP3 with rollup 2.

It looks like a sort of buffer overflow error.

Does anybody know a solution?

Powershell - Get-MailPublicFolder Bug

≪ Previous: Exchange Powershell script gives dr Watson

Hey,

i found a very weird behavior at the Get-MailPublicFolders.

The MSDN-Doc. says that the command returns only the folders they are mail enabled.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124772%28v=exchg.140%29.aspx

(We are using a Exchange 2010 ).

But in my case - it returns all SMTP-Addresse from any Public Folder (round 3000 items). However i know only from this 3000 items are 20 truly "mail enabled"!!

The absolute funniest is that a

Get-PublicFolder -Recurse -ResultSize unlimited | where{$_.MailEnabled -eq "True"}

returns the right count (20 items) ??!? What?? Why cant the Get-MailPublicFoder command read this property??

Can sobody evluate this ?? Or is there a fix?

Thanks in advance !!

CDOEX Interface "put_BCC" behavior

≪ Previous: Can not connect remotely to Exchange online server from azurewebsites and webjobs using powershell command New-PSSession

We use the CDOEX Interface "put_BCC" to add BCC header in a message, and then deliver the message via Exchange Pickup folder.

This is interface description:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa565628(v=exchg.80).aspx

In old CDOEX, the Interface "put_BCC will" adds "BCC" header, for example, below is what the MIME looks like:

===cut====

thread-index: Ac+AbP5ap/m1Fg+BS8+EVFRqzejVxg==

Thread-Topic: Test Message

From: "Administrator" <administrator@do.not.reply>

Bcc: <test1@stserver.com>

Subject: Test Message

===cut====

But I don't know from which version of CDOEX, the Interface "put_BCC" not add "BCC" property, but add "X-Receiver" to instead. For example, the MIME looks like:

======cut====

X-Receiver: User1@test.com

X-Sender: administrator@do.not.reply

thread-index: Ac9/sf6Zg9v8kIW2RPeD1bm3jzwT3Q==

Thread-Topic: Test Message

From: "Administrator" <administrator@do.not.reply>

Bcc:

======cut====

The BCC header is empty.

My questions are:

1. In which version of CDOEX, the Interface "put_BCC" changes its behavior?

2. Is there any method to know which header is added by "put_BCC", "BCC" or "X-Receiver"?

3. In Exchange 2003, Exchange 2007, Exchange 2010, from which build of these Exchanges uses the new CDOEX behavior?

Exchange 2013 Realtime Block List is Kind of Working

≪ Previous: How to recover permanently Deleted Emails and Folders in Microsoft Outlook?

Hi Everyone.

I've been setting up a RBL in exchange 2013 using zen.spamhaus.org. The IPBlockListProviders require that the connection filtering agent be enabled. By default when running the installantispamagents.ps1, this script will not install that connection filtering agent because it only installs on an "edge" server and since exchange 2013 did away with the "edge" role, it did not get installed. I had to modify the script so it installed that connection filtering agent with all the other anti-spam agents. (We are a one exchange server shop so the CAS and Mailbox roles are on one box.)

I'm having a very weird response. The RBL list works and when I get a test email sent to me using the service at 'nelson-sbl-test@crynwr.com', I can see the Reject message getting sent back out in the agent logs and the SMTP logs. This is the message I see in the logs. Notice that the originating IP and the RBL triggering IP are the same: 192.203.178.107.

2012-12-14T01:59:04.970Z,08CFA71A75A19B4B,10.10.3.50:2525,192.203.178.107:55186,192.203.178.107

information. This organization has no control over this RBL (Realtime Blo,BlockListProvider,
zen.spamhaus.org,,,,Undefined

This is a correct message and that IP address matches the Test RBL IP address spamhaus has blacklisted to check RBL filters. The IP address is added dynamically to the message with a variable in the reject message settings and should list the IP address of the SMTP server that triggered the RBL hit.

The VERY strange thing is when I trigger the RBL with the test message, exchange rejects all incoming mail for my account from any source for several minutes and rejects with that same message. I send a test message from my google account and I can clearly see in the agent log that the SMTP connection is coming from a google IP but it still rejects and issues the message that was sent in response to my test using the nelson-'sbl-test@crynwr.com'

This is the reject message sent to my google account after I sent myself an email following the RBL test message. Notice that the originating IP is a google IP and does not match the IP the the reject message claims the message came from. The log shows the originating IP as 74.125.82.179 (A google IP) but im rejecting the message because 192.203.178.107 is blocked??? The message didn't come from that IP. :

2012-12-14T02:00:06.318Z,08CFA71A75A19B4B,10.10.3.50:2525,74.125.82.179:50654,74.125.82.179,,

for further information. This organization has no control over this RBL 
(Realtime Blo,BlockListProvider,zen.spamhaus.org,,,,Undefined

After a couple minutes, it clears up and I can get mail again. I just can not for the life of me figure out why all messages are rejected for several minutes after I have an RBL hit and the reject message is always referencing the the SMTP transaction that originally triggered the hit. Which in this case, is blocking my Gmail message thinking its coming forom the crynwr.com test even when the smtp logs show a completely different SMTP originating IP and Connection.

Here is my IPBlockListProvider:

Now all the mail boxes are transferred to the 2013, and based on his recommendation I am in the stage of uninstalling exchange 2007 from my old servers.

I am reading about the process but based on the link below I have to do more things before uninstalling

Find an event with a specific UID using Exchange Web Services 2010

≪ Previous: Upgrading from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

I am accessing Exchange Server API through code to create an appointment. I am able to add an appointment in ES but I am facing an issue to fetch existing appointments in order to update or delete those appointments.

My understanding is that providing UniqueId while binding appointment object with the service is standard method to find existing appointments. Unfortunately I can't use UniqueId in my SharePoint application as I have hundreds of existing appointments without UniqueId stored. So it is impossible for me delete any existing appointment using UniqueId. I can fetch new appointments by storing UniqueId as well in the list but I am not sure about existing on.

So I am wondering if it is possible to find an existing appointment in Exchange Server using UID instead of UniqueId?

Here is simplest form of my implementation:

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP1);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("test", "test", "acme");

Hi

How can i search calendar item through UID? I am having my own custom unique UID attached with the meeting e.g.
< a0mS00000004k8fIAA*Kiran, 234234242, Num1, Booked, some service*O >.
I need to find calendar item with the above format UID.

I have tried in follwoing way:

Dim

esb AsNew ExchangeServiceBinding()

esb.Credentials =

New Net.NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ExchUserName"), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ExchPassword"), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ExchDomain"))

'Provide the URL

esb.Url = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(

"EsbURL")

esb.RequestServerVersionValue =

New RequestServerVersion()

esb.RequestServerVersionValue.Version = ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2007_SP1

'which properties will be returned

Dim itemProperties AsNew ItemResponseShapeType()

itemProperties.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.AllProperties

' Tell it you only want to look in the calendar folder

Dim folderIDArray As DistinguishedFolderIdType() = New DistinguishedFolderIdType(0) {}

folderIDArray(0) =

New DistinguishedFolderIdType()

folderIDArray(0).Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.calendar

'Locate the field for search

Dim field AsNew PathToUnindexedFieldType() 'PathToUnindexedFieldType '

field.FieldURI = UnindexedFieldURIType.calendarUID

Dim fieldValue AsNew ConstantValueType()

fieldValue.Value = "a0mS00000004k8fIAA*Kiran, 234234242, Num1, Booked, some service*O"

Dim expr AsNew ContainsExpressionType()

expr.ContainmentModeSpecified =

True

expr.ContainmentMode = ContainmentModeType.Substring

'Prefixed

expr.ContainmentComparisonSpecified =

True

expr.ContainmentComparison = ContainmentComparisonType.IgnoreCase

expr.Constant = fieldValue

expr.Item = field

Dim restriction AsNew RestrictionType()

restriction.Item = expr

'Form the FindItem request

Dim findItemRequest AsNew FindItemType()

findItemRequest.Traversal = ItemQueryTraversalType.Shallow

findItemRequest.ItemShape = itemProperties

findItemRequest.ParentFolderIds = folderIDArray

findItemRequest.Restriction = restriction

Dim

findItemResponse As FindItemResponseType = esb.FindItem(findItemRequest)

For

Each firmt As FindItemResponseMessageType In findItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items

sr.WriteLine(

"220")

If firmt.RootFolder IsNothingThen

sr.WriteLine(

"firmt.RootFolder Is Nothing")

ContinueFor

EndIf

If firmt.RootFolder IsNotNothingAndAlso firmt.RootFolder.TotalItemsInView > 0 Then

ForEach appt As CalendarItemType InDirectCast(firmt.RootFolder.Item, ArrayOfRealItemsType).Items

sr.WriteLine(

"Appointment Item ID:"& appt.ItemId.Id)

ApptID = appt.ItemId.Id

ChangeKey = appt.ItemId.ChangeKey

sr.WriteLine(

"Item Found")

ExitFor

EndIf

Thanks for any help

≪ Previous: Search calendar item through EWS with UID

Incase Appointment is created from IPhone i am getting UID as 'FD8436180C594341977272AAB7EF855B0' when listening through service.

http://www.infinitec.de/post/2009/04/13/Searching-a-meeting-with-a-specific-UID-using-Exchange-Web-Services-2007.aspx

If i convert this using above logic i am getting '/YQ2GAxZQ0GXcnKqt++FWw==' as GlobalObjectID.

Using this i am unable to find item through FintItem API.

How to convert this into GlobalObjectID/ how to get equivalent GlobalObjectID.

Thanks

Small business standard email issue. Shared boxes.

≪ Previous: Getting GlobalObjectID from UID(Appointment created from IPhone)

Hello,

I have a company with a setup of 10ish accounts / computers on a domain from SBS 2011 Standard. Exchange is used.

Every individual has their own email address on the company domain. They all need access to to a particular box that was their "primary" email .pst file before.

I made a special account for that "main"@company.com email address. I then opened up that box from the machines as delegates. Everything comes up and seems to look fine. However, they now want to make the mail come in, but if a user deletes an entire folder the changes only happen on their computer.

They have some older users that would ruin their folder structure for pending versus completed jobs.

I thought maybe just add a SMTP email address alias for that address in every bodies box. Down side to that would be I'd have to import that old "main" pst individually on each computer.

Last monkey wrench is most of them only want to send email as "main" by default.

What do you all think?

A lot of things wouldn't get done if it weren't for the last minute.

Objective: to have single sign on (o365, VSO, tableau, VPN, etc) using WAAD

Is WAAD greater or equal to ADFS ?

can I manage WAAD through a gui ? *or only through PowerShell?

can WAAD talk with local AD? (talk to, listen to, or both?)

any help is appreciated

I just started a job, and the business wants SSO, and azure, o365, tableau, VSO, and other things to work seamlessly with Single Sign On.

"AccessRights" property cannot be accessed after upgrade Exchange 2013 RTM to Exchange 2013 SP1 or CU6(15.00.0995.017)

Hello,

We have an issue after upgrade Exchange 2013 RTM to Exchange 2013 SP1 or CU6(15.00.0995.017).

1. Run the cmdlet “get-mailboxpermission | select”. It successfully returns valid values.
2. And then we run the following code to check whether a group has “FullAccess” of a mailbox.
But the “MailboxRights” cannot be accessed.
===========cut===========================

//check "The group" has "FullAccess" of a mailbox
public bool CheckPermissionOfMailbox(string sMbxName, string sGroupName)
{
bool bRet = false;
string strAccessRights = "";

try
{
string strCommand = "Get-MailboxPermission -Identity \"" + sMbxName +"\" -user \"" + sGroupName + "\" | select AccessRights";

ICollection<PSObject> mshObjCollection = CmdletWrapper.Invoke(strCommand);
foreach (PSObject obj in mshObjCollection)
{
foreach (Object foo in (Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxRights[])obj.Properties["AccessRights"].Value)
{
strAccessRights = foo.ToString();
if (strAccessRights.Contains("FullAccess"))
{
bRet = true;
break;
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// Error handling
}
}
return bRet;
}

===========cut===========================

This code can run successfully in Exchange 2013 RTM, but fails in Exchange 2013SP1 and CU6.
Please help to check this issue and whether you will fix it in CU6.

Thanks.
