Two comments, neither of which will immediately solve your problem[1]:
1. You're saying that you have a MAPI client installed on your Exchange
server[2]? Generally considered A Bad Idea.
2. Nobody will touch it until you prove that the script isn't causing
the problems? It's generally considered a logical fallacy to put the
burden of the argument on proof of a negative. i.e. Prove that
breathing DOESN'T cause cancer... You can't. Everyone who ever caught
cancer has drawn breath. You can't have a valid control group until
they back off their unreasonable stance.

[1] But in case one of them does, can I have a floor wax[3] gift
certificate?[4]
[2] "... when I open this room from the server where we configured the
script..."
[3] New Shimmer! It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!
[4] Mike, I hope you have a Ben & Jerry's one for me. They feed ya this
Blue Bell stuff in Texas...ewww
