I've got about 27,000 Exchange mailboxes and 49,000 total users
with a 10,000 user turn-over every year.  Needless to say I've written
some Perl modules to automate the management of AD, Exchange,
IIS, SQL, etc. And it all works pretty slick 99% of the time...

However.... recently I've noticed every once in a great while I'll get the
following error when calling the CreateMailbox() method on a user object:

-------------
OLE exception from "<Unknown Source>":

Access is denied.  Facility: Win32 ID no: c0070005 Microsoft CDO for Exchange 
Management 

Win32::OLE(0.1501) error 0x8000ffff: "Catastrophic failure"
    in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "CreateMailbox"
------------

If I wait a few minutes and try again (same object, same parameters)
it works just fine. This happens with both newly created objects as well
as objects that have been around awhile. Otherwise I would suspect a
replication problem, which in general is a major pain in my arse! But
that's another story/thread altogether...

The only semi-related reference to c0070005 I could find at Microsoft's
Support site is a permission problem with a couple of registry entries.
However, I would think this would be an all-or-nothing situation.  The
code is being run through a service app which is always running under
the same user id.

Any thoughts?  Anyone else run into this?
