Exchange with CDOEXM

[ybouan]

I am using AutoIT 3.1.1.27 to translate a vbs script that pulls information from exchange.

I currently have this which works great untill the StorageGroups part.

Storage groups should contain a list of the URLs to the Storage Groups but when I print it out it contains only a zero and the FOR LOOP syas I need a variable of type "object".

I tried treating it as an array but it did not work either.

Since all the onther information is being pulled exactly like in vb I'm not sure why this code does not work.

.

$iExs =  ObjCreate("CDOEXM.ExchangeServer")
$isg =  ObjCreate("CDOEXM.StorageGroup")

if @error then 
    Msgbox (0,"","error getting object. Error code: " & @error)
endif
$iExs.DataSource.Open('exchange')

  Msgbox(0, "Exchange Test",$iExs.Name)
  Msgbox(0, "Exchange Test",$iExs.ExchangeVersion)
  Msgbox(0, "Exchange Test",$iExs.DirectoryServer)
  Msgbox(0, "Exchange Test",$iExs.StorageGroups)
  
  For $storegroup in $iExs.StorageGroups
      Msgbox(0, "Exchange Test",$storegroup)
      $isg.DataSource.Open($storegroup)
  Next

In vb it looks like this:

Set iExs   = CreateObject ("CDOEXM.ExchangeServer")
 Set isg    = CreateObject ("CDOEXM.StorageGroup")

 iExs.DataSource.Open strServerName

 e "Exchange attributes for server " & strServerName

 e "Name = "                     & iExs.Name
 e "ExchangeVersion = "       & iExs.ExchangeVersion
 e "DirectoryServer = "       & iExs.DirectoryServer
 e "DaysBeforeLogFileRemoval = " & iExs.DaysBeforeLogFileRemoval
 e "MessageTrackingEnabled = "   & iExs.MessageTrackingEnabled
 e "SubjectLoggingEnabled = "   & iExs.SubjectLoggingEnabled
 e "Servertype = "             & sServerType (iExs.ServerType)
 e ""

 For Each storegroup In iExs.StorageGroups
  e "StorageGroup Attributes"
  e "Distinguished Name = " & storegroup

Long live AutoIT!

Hello ybouan,

Sorry for the late answer. It took me some time to obtain access to an exchange server with enough rights (a normal user does not have access to the StorageGroups).

It seems that the COM method "$theServer.StorageGroups" returns an 'COM-Array' type that has a undocumented flag activated.

Since I don't know what this specific flag means, I modified AutoIt so it will just ignore this flag.

I submitted the modified code to jpm, who will (hopefully) merge it with the next beta version.

Thanks for showing this bug!

Regards,
