Vbscript is generally easiest, and with some careful googling, you can probably find all the individual piece parts you need. Even in Exchange 2010, you’ve have to do a little programming in order to create the appointment message. Regards, Michael B.

I did some quick googling on the Redemption and CDO just to learn what those are(since I'm not a programmer). Anyway, from what I saw it seems as though they are api's or libraries you have to code to in order to access that functionality. Is that correct? Is there any way to do this stuff from a command prompt using pre-built tools or scripts, or does this type of design require coding in VB, C, etc. ?

I’d suggest using Redemption, but you can do all this with CDO. Well, I don’t know anything about the WCS piece; but the Exchange piece…. Regards, Michael B.

Just started a new gig. I'm on probation for 3 - 6 months and then they will decide if they want to take me on. WooHoo! Anyway, I've been asked to create an id/pw for guest/vendor access to a wireless network for use by visitors/guests in conference rooms at the office. The id/pw should be good for one week - 8:30 - 5:00 PM and then expire. We may have to create separate ones for each floor/area too. We're using Cisco for the creation of the wireless id/pw . The Cisco WCS (wireless control system) allows you to create id/pw using csv files, or manually via the gui and then gives an option to send an email of the credentials. I would really like to see if I can script the whole thing - including the WCS part so I don't have to login every week and do it. The Conf rooms are setup in Public folders in Exchange (2k3). I've been asked to put the id/pw information that is created weekly in the actual conference room as an appointment so people can look to see what the id/pw is for that space. I have to put some basic text around the id/pw and have it show as a non busy item for the week. I was originally going to send an email to the high level Public folder email to provide that information, but that's not what is desired. So the question is, can this be automated to send out once a week the new id/pw to a number of different conf rooms as an appointment with some canned text?
