Programmaticaly creating an Exchange 2003 mailbox

John_Mc · 19-02-2008 01:46PM #1

Hi,

We're developing a MOSS2007 web application and a requirement is to create a mailbox account for a user upon registration (custom membership provider using Forms based authentication so no active directory).

We cannot find any documentation on how to do this though. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
John

Because you are using forms authentication, and more than and likely your web server and exchange box are seperate, you will probably run into multi hop issues.

So you can look at implementing the Kerberos for multihop or using a dedicated user and allow delegation (and this is covered in the article)
