Hi all,
I'm trying to create an Exchange mailbox for an existing user in the
Active Directory. Apparently the CDOEXM.IMailBoxStore interface method
CreateMailBox does this. My problem is I don't know how to get an
object that supports this interface. Until now, I managed to do all
Active Directory work with pure LDAP, avoiding COM,ADSI,CDO,CDOEXM and
Windows things in general. :-) However, this seems to no longer be
sufficient.
I found this VB snippet on MSDN:
-->--
Sub CreateMailboxCDOPerson(strFirstName As String, _
strLastName As String, _
strHomeMDBUrl As String)
'strHomeMDBUrl should look like this
'strHomeMDBUrl = "CN=Mailbox Store (MYSTORE),CN=First Storage Group,
' CN=InformationStore,CN=MYSTORE,CN=Servers,
' CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,
' CN=IASI,CN=Microsoft
Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,
' DC=mydomain,DC=fourthcoffee,DC=com"
Dim oPerson As New CDO.Person
Dim oMailbox As CDOEXM.IMailboxStore
Dim strUserName As String
Dim strURL As String
Dim strContainerName As String
strUserName = strFirstName & strLastName
strContainerName = "Users"
' Create URL for the user
CreateUserURL(strURL, strContainerName, False, strUserName)
oPerson.FirstName = strFirstName
oPerson.LastName = strLastName
oPerson.DataSource.SaveTo strURL
Set oPerson = New CDO.Person
' Bind
oPerson.DataSource.Open strURL
' Create Mailbox
Set oMailbox = oPerson
oMailbox.CreateMailbox strHomeMDBUrl
' Save
oPerson.DataSource.Save
'CleanUp
Set oPerson = Nothing
Set oMailbox = Nothing
End Sub
--<--
I don't know VB either (again, I'm not a Windows developer), but I guess
the clue is the line "Set oMailbox = oPerson".
How would I do this in Python? Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Alex
