RE: [ActiveDir] Purging Mailboxes Programatically

[joe]

Oh... I think you are screwed. :o)   I once looked at alternate methods to do this and mailbox reconnects but it was all MAPI based and MS was very ungiving in terms of documentation around this stuff. What I got working was so incredibly flakey I didn't trust it and it never made it out of very very raw pre-alpha POC stage.   I really would like to find some other method because the method MS gave for doing reconnects in E2K3 completely sucks though they can at least say it is better than what was available for E2K. We went from unforgivable to sucky. I wish they would publish source to the ESM or mbconn which are doing this stuff through MAPI from what I can tell.     joe   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 11:26 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Purging Mailboxes Programatically Danke.

I cannot wait the retention time, and I certainly cannot run the cleanup agent on 12 servers x 4 storage groups x 5 mailstores manually. I have this feeling I’m going to be told I’m SOL, but, can I purge mailboxes somehow in code/script?   Thx, brian   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132
