Add SMTP address to proxyAddresses in AD

[Giuoco, Aaron]

Hi LDAP list,

I seem to be having a problem adding SMTP addresses to the
proxyAddresses attribute.  We are using Windows 2003 domain controllers
and have a Windows 2003 server running Exchange 2003 as our mail server.

Below is function I have written for adding and SMTP address to an AD
account.



sub enterNewEmail {
        my $ldapConn = shift;
        my $entry = shift;
        my $newEmail = shift;

        if ($entry and $newEmail) {
                my $message = $ldapConn->modify($entry->dn(), add => {
'proxyAddresses' => "smtp:" . $newEmail });
                if ($message->code == 0) {
                        return 1;
                } else {
                        print "Error adding email address $newEmail: " .
$message->error() . "\n";
                        return undef;
                }
        } else {
                return undef;
        }
}



The odd thing is that this function never returns errors (it always
returns 1).  But when I look in AD at my test account, the email address
wasn't added to the proxyAddresses attribute.  Any ideas why this
doesn't work?
