Hi All, A few months ago I wrote to the perl-admin list on ASPN regarding some exchange stuff (http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/1500897) and you pointed me towards Steven Manross' Exchange module. I'm just getting back to this project after having worked on some other things, and I've run into a few issues.
Firstly, when I try to install Win32-Exchange from ppm3, I'm having some troubles. ppm> search win32-exchange Searching in Active Repositories 1. Win32-Exchange [0.0.0.0~ Perl-Win32 Interface for performing tasks relate~ ppm> install Win32-Exchange Error: no suitable installation target found for package Win32-Exchange. ppm> I have the roth archive at the top of my rep list, but it fails the same with the default ppm archive at the top. I managed to install it via CPAN, after some fiddling and loading of POSIX tools on to the W2K server. I'd been using Exchange_example.pl as sort of a test suite, to make sure that things were running correctly on the Exchange/AD sandbox we built to test this stuff in. After some more fiddling (reinstalling a service pack after a software update), I got some promising information from Exchange_example, although it still can't seem to detect the PDC, so I hardcoded it as the module notes suggest. (Any idea why it can't detect it?) Anyway, this is the output I get (the output is modified a little in my own attempt to debug a bit): ----8<---- $ perl Exchange_example.pl The DOMAIN is NPUTEST... The PDC is NANCY... found e2k tools, so we'll look and see what version of Exchange you have. version = 6.0 build = 6249.4 service pack = 3 Found Exchange 6.0 Server, attempting to create mailbox...

I'm clearly doing something wrong. Any ideas what? The environment is two boxes next to each other on the subnet, one with AD/DNS and the other with Exchange. I'm running the scripts on the Exchange Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Yours, Peter -- Peter A.
