    Hi,

    Greetings to all...

    I'm facing a problem in creating the mail box in Exchange Server 2003 via script.

    Let me Explain the Requirements :

    I'm automating the ADMIN process via vb scripting. we are having two different server for "Active Directory (LDAP)" and "Exchange Server 2003". "Test Linux Server".

    Now I need to create a email box for a particular user those who are having account in AD.

    I found a utility for MailBox Creation.
    The name of the Utility is : ExchMbx.exe

    If we provide the DNstring to this utility it'll create the mail box for that user.

    Example :

    dsquery user -samid mkautomate  | ExchMbx.exe -cr "CN=Mailbox Store (BLREXCH01),CN=First Storage Group,CN=InformationStore,CN=BLREXCH01,CN=Servers,CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=VITAGETECH,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=vitagetech,DC=com"

     

    otherwise we can given -b and DNString

     

    I placed this ExchMbx.exe in C:\Tools\ dir.

     

    from the command prompt I called this exe with the above option, I could create the email box for the given user.

     

    So for I does all these executions in Exchange server directly (mstsc RDP Connection as domain + exchange server + enterprice admin).

     

    ------------------------

     

    Remote Execution....

     

    There is a utility available for executing a scripting windows server through linux.

    winexe

    code source & examples are available here.

    http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/

     

    I used this utility for AD User Creation and other AD related tasks. It worked very well and proven also.

     

    now I'm calling the ipconfig via winexe.

     

    winexe --system -U <domainname>/<adminuserid>%<adminpassword> //<ExchangeServerIP> "ipconfig"

     

    If the above one is success and if you get the IPConfig, Call this script,

     

    winexe --system -U <domainname>/<adminuserid>%<adminpassword> //<ExchangeServerIP> 'cscript C:\Tools\ExchMbx.exe -b "CN=mkautomate,OU=RBA,DC=vitagetech,DC=com" -cr "CN=Mailbox Store (BLREXCH01),CN=First Storage Group,CN=InformationStore,CN=BLREXCH01,CN=Servers,CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=VITAGETECH,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=vitagetech,DC=com"'

     

    I pass the same domain UserId and Password to winexe.

     

    It simply saying "Access Denied".

     

    I checked the event/error/application logs in the Exchange server.

    I checked the permissions are same through the RDP as well as the winexe.

    ExchMbx V01.04.00cpp Joe Richards (joe@joeware.net) April 2006

    ERROR: (CreateMailBox) (0x80070005) Access is denied.

    I'm breaking my head for past 2 weeks.

     

    What could be the problem ?? Can any one help me on this ??

     

    Regards,

    Sri
