The PPM issue is purely because I do not have 5.8 set up as a viable
version that PPM can install Win32-Exchange from (partially because I
haven't tested it on 5.8)..  (Neither does Dave Roth -- unless he's
changed it recently, but I don't think he has)..

I'm guessing you have E2K SP3 based off of the version info that the
example spit, and that would pretty much deprecate the need to set up
LDAP, because LDAP (other than to AD) is no longer used by the Exchange
database, or the module in E2K.

I'm also guessing that your Exchange setup is fine.  E2K installs are
pretty hard to break (unless you don't have the client tools loaded, but
again you said that you were running this script on the Exchange server,
and then it's pretty unlikely that Exchange will allow you not to
install the tools there).

The PDC issue you are having is not related to Win32::Exchange, but to
Win32::AdminMisc (I'm not sure that Dave's compiled a version of
Win32::AdminMisc for perl 5.8, but I haven't followed that thread since
none of my perl installs are 5.8, and will let Dave comment on that if
he needs to)..  And may be off on the reason for the problem.
FindCloseDC (in build 036) will find a suitable Domain Controller if
GetPDC continues to fail..  Thanks to Andy Webb for that contribution.) 

Don't assume this is your problem...  I just overhauled the code to put
the Mailbox features into the Win32::Exchange::Mailbox module and may
have broken something while trying to give the module a more structured
namespace for additions like Win32::Exchange::SMTP::Security (in build
036 --- smtp "access list" and "relay list" manipulation).

Can you get a copy of 035 from CPAN --use the old example (from build
035) as there are differences for the namespace change (or email me
direct and I can help..) and see if it is broken there (build 035 seemed
pretty solid)?  I'm going to look more at this, but not right this
second.  (that would also tell us if there is an incompatability in perl
5.8 (but I agree, it's a longshot, and looks more like my code in 036)..

More info later, time for bed.

Also, in your documentation, you mentioned setting up the LDAP service
-- I don't recall specifically enabling that service, but since parts
of the script were functioning properly, I assumed that wasn't the
issue. Can you think of anything regarding the module that would stop
it from creating new mailboxes or setting attributes, but *wouldn't*
stop it from querying Exchange for information?

Again, that sounds like permissions to me, but I *am* running as
DOMAIN\Administrator.
