I can take this offline if no one wants to see this...

Otherwise (with no comments to take this offline), I can look at
debugging it for everyone's perusal.

Which version of the module do you have?
You mentioned that you had to run some POSIX tools, what for (what
problems did you encounter)?
What version of perl are you running? (this module is not tested in
activeperl 5.8, or tested with activeperl older than build 631).

P.S. Win32::Exchange now lives at www.manross.net/perl/ppm in addition
to Dave Roth's PPM site, and on CPAN.

Don't comment on the lack of content or my lack of HTML capabilities on
manross.net..  I already know.

Subject: Exchange module in ppm...?


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...
Stor Name = First Storage Group
  Mailbox Store = Mailbox Store (RONALD)

  Total:

Mailbox did not exist, attempting to create...
found this:
  -->
  -->jlundblad

Unable to match valid data for your search on jlundblad
Mailbox creation failed!

When I run Exchange_exmample.pl with an existing mailbox in 
$mailbox_alias_name it recognizes it but still fails:

----8<----

[snipped intro]

found this: CN=foo j. bar,CN=Users,DC=nputest,DC=edu
  -->thisisatest
  -->thisisatest
found (not fuzzy) (string)CN=foo j. bar,CN=Users,DC=nputest,DC=edu
Got Mailbox successfully
Error setting 2K Attributes

----

So... 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
