Exchange Server Object

[rp]

I'm using adsi to query the active directory and get a list of
exchange servers, this works perfectly well.

What i also need to do is for each exchange server in the list i need
to create and IExchangeServer object so that i can access it's storage
groups etc. I have seen many examples of this in VB, but i am doing
this using VC++.. has anybody done this in VC++.

Here is some of my code;

IADs *pADs = NULL;
IDirectorySearch *pDirSrch = NULL;
LPOLESTR szPath = new OLECHAR[MAX_PATH];
VARIANT var;

hr = ADsOpenObject(L"LDAP://rootDSE",
NULL,
NULL,
// Use secure authentication.
ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION,
IID_IADs,
(void**)&pADs);

if (FAILED(hr))
{
wprintf(L"Not Found. Could not bind to the domain.\n");
if (pADs)
pADs->Release();
return hr;
}

hr = pADs->Get(L"configurationNamingContext",&var);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
wcscpy(szPath,L"LDAP://");
wcscat(szPath,var.bstrVal);
VariantClear(&var);

printf("path %s:\n", szPath);

// Bind to the root of the configuration context.
hr = ADsOpenObject(szPath,
NULL,
NULL,
// Use secure authentication.
ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION,
IID_IDirectorySearch,
(void**)&pDirSrch);

wprintf(L"path %s:\n", szPath);

if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;

// Create the search filter.
LPOLESTR pszSearchFilter = new OLECHAR[MAX_PATH];
LPOLESTR szADsPath = new OLECHAR[MAX_PATH];
wcscpy(pszSearchFilter,
L"(&(objectCategory=msExchExchangeServer)(objectClass=msExchExchangeServer))");

// Search the entire subtree from the root.
ADS_SEARCHPREF_INFO pSearchPrefs;
pSearchPrefs.dwSearchPref = ADS_SEARCHPREF_SEARCH_SCOPE;
pSearchPrefs.vValue.dwType = ADSTYPE_INTEGER;
pSearchPrefs.vValue.Integer = ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE;
DWORD dwNumPrefs = 1;

// Handle used for searching
ADS_SEARCH_HANDLE hSearch;

// Set the search preference.
hr = pDirSrch->SetSearchPreference( &pSearchPrefs, dwNumPrefs);
if (FAILED(hr))
return hr;

// Set attributes to return.
CONST DWORD dwAttrNameSize = 1;
LPOLESTR pszAttribute[dwAttrNameSize] = {L"ADsPath"};

// Execute the search.
hr = pDirSrch->ExecuteSearch(pszSearchFilter,
NULL, //pszAttribute,
-1, //dwAttrNameSize,
&hSearch);

if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{

//pDirSrch->GetFirstRow( hSearch );
for( hr = pDirSrch->GetFirstRow( hSearch );
SUCCEEDED( hr ) && hr != S_ADS_NOMORE_ROWS;
hr = pDirSrch->GetNextRow( hSearch ) )
{
for (DWORD x = 0; x < dwAttrNameSize; x++)
{
LPWSTR pszColumn = L"cn";
ADS_SEARCH_COLUMN col;

// Get the data for this column.
hr = pDirSrch->GetColumn( hSearch, pszColumn, &col );
//hr = pDirSrch->GetColumn( hSearch, pszColumn, &col );

if( SUCCEEDED( hr ) )
{
wprintf(L"Column Name is: %s\n", pszColumn);
wprintf(L"cn is: %s\n",col.pADsValues->CaseIgnoreString);

hr = pDirSrch->GetColumn(hSearch, L"ADsPath", &col);
wprintf(L"ADsPath is: %s\n",col.pADsValues->CaseIgnoreString);

if (FAILED(hr))
{
wprintf(L"Failed to get value for ADsPath");
return hr;
}

IADs *pADs;
IExchangeServer *pES = NULL;
hr = ADsGetObject(col.pADsValues->CaseIgnoreString,
IID_IADs,
(void**) &pADs );

/*** HERE I WOULD LIKE TO SOMEHOW CAST THE pADs object or an
IDirectoryObject (if i were to use this instead of IADs) TO AN
EXCHANGE OBJECT (IExchangeObject) - DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA HOW I
COULD DO THIS?? ***/

if ( !SUCCEEDED(hr) )
{
wprintf(L"Get object failed\n");
return hr;
}
else
{
wprintf(L"Get object Successful\n");

BSTR retVal = L"";
//hr = pES->get_Name(&name);
hr = pADs->get_Class(&retVal);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
wprintf(L"Ret Val: %s\n", retVal);
}
else
{
wprintf(L"get retVal failed");
return hr;
}
}

if (pADs)
{
pADs->Release();
pADs = NULL;
}
if (pES)
{
pES->Release();
pES = NULL;
}
}
( void )pDirSrch->FreeColumn( &col );
}
}
}
// Close the search handle to clean up.
pDirSrch->CloseSearchHandle(hSearch);

//pDirSrch->FreeColumn( &col );
}
}
if (pADs)
{
pADs->Release();
pADs = NULL;
}
if (pDirSrch)
{
pDirSrch->Release();
pDirSrch = NULL;
}

Thanks in Advance..!!!

I don't do ADSI in c/c++ but I am curious what your final goal is, what info are
you trying to get, it is possible you don't need to use anything but LDAP to get
it.

I'm trying to get an Exchange server object in order to obtain a list
of it's storage groups, and the storage group Mailbox stores and
public folders etc.
I'm basically trying to build a tree with Exchange server->storage
groups->Mailboxes and public folders.

Note that public folders you won't be able to get with LDAP if they are not
mail-enabled. To get all existing public folder in a particular public store
you need to use ADO/ExOLEDB or XML & WebDAV to query that particular public
store directly.
