Problems enabling incoming e-mail WSS
- Hello together,
at the moment I am having problems with the enabling of incoming mail in SharePont libraries with WSS 3.0 (SP2).
The SMTP server is installed
I already enabled the general incoming mail settings on "Operations" --> "Incoming e-mail settings", the ldap path is correct (copied from adsiedit.msc)
I receive an "Error in the application" when I want to enable "Incoming e-mail settings" in a library.
The application pool identity of the web application and the central administration is the same. The identity has rights on the OU to create objects. For testing, I added the identity to the domain admin group. Addtional the identity is Secondary Site Collection Administrator and Farm Administrator.
In the WSS log I see the following enty:
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x8007200B): The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007200B) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges() at Microsoft.SharePoint.EmailIntegration.SPEWSADManager.CreateContact(String Alias, String FirstName, String LastName, String ForwardingEmail, ContactFlags Flags)SPEWSADManager::CreateContact
I presume it is a rights problem and the WSS can't create the contact, but I think all rights are ok.
I don't know if it matters, but the sharepoint server is a dedicated server in an hmc 3.5 (hosted messaging collaboration) environment.
Thanks for the help.

It might help you qualify that you have done all the requisite stepsRegardsJohn Timney - Hello,
thank you.
I already read this RTM (and many others e.g. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262947.aspx), but I can't find any error.
Any ideas? Maybe someone knows the error in the the logs.
Thanks
Tom Short Update:
I also found the two attributes
ms-Exch-mail-Nicknamems-Exch-RequireAuthToSendTo
in the AD.
I see some posts, that the error occurs, if the attributes are not set in ADHi Tom,
From the error log: “The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid”, it seems that the AD schema does not extend correctly.
You could choose to install Exchange Server 2003 / 2007 on the same domain or extending the AD schema by the following command at least.
For exchange 2003, run setup /PrepareForest from the exchange 2003 installation disk.
For exchange 2007, run setup /PrepareSchema from the exchange 2007 installation disk.
See SharePoint forum FAQ#9 for more information.
Let me know the result if possible.

thanks for your reply.
At the moment we are using the Exchange 2003 server farm in an Microsoft Hosted Messaging and Collaboration 3.5 environment.
Maybe that is the problem why the AD schema does not extend correctly.
I don't know if I can run this command in our environement.
Does anybody have any idea?
Thanks
