It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out over time. Microsoft is going to take a lot of heat of the say "We support our virtual servers, but not yours". That's the kind of stuff that causes bad press and possibly other issues. Hyper-V looks cool, but VMware is cool and I'm not ready

IIRC, Propfind represents read of a MAPI property; Proppatch would be a modify/write. I never did figure out how to figure out what the GUID after the -FlatUrlSpace- part of the path actually represented; it did not seem to map to the AD ObjectGUID last time I was messing around with it. Win32stat
