OWA sucks
big time you’ll never get it to run right. If you use CDO in an ASP script, you
can programmatically access basically every structure in Exchange. If you call
a shell script via AGI with wget in it, that would call the ASP script which
would filter items in the Exchange store via CDO, then return the item you want
using SET VARIABLE syntax to Asterisk. Problem is there is massive overhead in
CDO (it’s basically a MAPI client) so the latency would be so bad that it would
never work in near real time and scaling would be a problem from the get-go. I do a
caller ID lookup from our SQL server using ODBCSockets direct to Asterisk and
it is under a second, with no scaling problems. This approach would work fine
for you, as long as you had a _vbscript_ that you could run say once a day that
would do the CDO, get the contact items, wipe all of the records from the SQL
server table, and repopulate the table. This solves your latency problem. If
you don’t have SQL you can get the free SQL 2005 download from Microsoft. If you
want, email me offlist and I will send you my ODBCSockets script. -----Original
Message----- Has anybody done this? I looked at LDAP but you can’t get to them
that way, I’m considering either a timed export, or some other way (can you
access them via IMAP? Or by wget on the owa web structure?) Steve The information contained in this email is intended for the personal and confidential use |
