Exchange 2010 and the MAPI Download

Bunches of people have contacted me asking if the MAPI download works with Exchange 2010. My usual response has been that I know it works, but you have to tweak the profile. I didn’t know the specific tweaks ‘cause I hadn’t looked in to it. Dave Vespa

Responding to Meetings with CDO

My colleague Edwin, writing for the Exchange Support Team Central Europe blog , posted an article on accepting meeting requests with CDO . The key takeaway from the post is this: This means that when calling the respond method on meeting updates / requests,

More Fun With Check Name

I just closed case where the customer was trying to create a profile but Check Name was constantly prompting for credentials and then failing. This wasn’t the reconfig issue I mentioned before – they couldn’t create the profile in the first place. Even

Auth and Check Names

When I posted the Referral Madness article, there was an intriguing comment that I didn’t get a chance to investigate until it came up in a case. The commenter noted that when we used RPC_C_AUTHN_GSS_NEGOTIATE as our authentication mechanism, we could

LaunchWizard and Outlook MAPI

I got a bug report this morning that using Profile\Launch Profile Wizard in MFCMAPI returned MAPI_E_NO_SUPPORT in Outlook 2010. Further investigation showed it also failed on Outlook 2007. A quick debug revealed that the function had been rewritten before

I had some extra time today, so I put together updates I’ve been working on for the GCReconnect sample/tool which we use to demonstrate/test referrals . The key addition here is an oft requested switch, –k, which requests that we keep the profile that

Exchange MAPI and the Form Manager

Had a customer contact me recently asking why MAPIOpenFormMgr doesn’t work with the Exchange MAPI download . Actually, it wasn’t working in Exchange 2003 either. I’m not sure exactly when it last worked in Exchange’s implementation of MAPI. We might have

Accepting Appointments With CDO May Break Embedded Message Attachments

This is an issue that has only been reproduced so far with Exchange 2003 , but I wanted to document it here in case anyone else is running in to it. Suppose you have a CDO 1.21 based application which uses GetAssociatedAppointment to accept meeting requests.

Working with a customer the other day, I went looking for my blog post discussing the fact that MAPI is not supported with .Net. Turns out, while I’ve mentioned it several times, I’ve never devoted a topic to it. So here goes. Here are the articles which

Local Referrals

Time for another round on referrals . When last we left off, we were able to get the MAPI download to request and receive referrals from Exchange 2007, but the settings didn’t work if MAPI was running locally on the Exchange 2007 server. Let’s take a

Direct Load of ExMAPI32.dll Now Works

A few months ago I documented a bug in the Exchange MAPI download that prevents you from loading ExMAPI32.dll directly. The only way to load it was through the MAPI Stub library. This problem is now fixed with the 6.5.8069 update . A few notes: You must

Too Many Notifications

We had a customer recently who’s application iterated through mailboxes on the Exchange server, advising for notifications on a handful of folders in each mailbox. They were fine with a few thousand mailboxes, but as they tried to scale up, they ran into

More Issues With MAPI and IPv6

I had another issue recently where MAPI wasn’t able to connect via NSPI to the Exchange server or DC. The customer had a CDO application, running on an Exchange 2007 server on Windows 2008, using the Exchange MAPI download . In other environments, the

Referral Madness

I've had a few customers lately getting hangs using Exchange's MAPI to talk to Exchange. Their specific symptoms and repro steps varied from case to case, but in every case, the stack showed the client waiting on an NSPI call to return. NSPI is the interface
