Entourage for Exchange Web Services Beta

Anyone have any experience with this? And if you do, have you gotten it to work? Our email people have me testing it out and it connects but doesn't pull any mail or let me send anything.
Apple Mail works fine, but I have a lot of clients who like to use Entourage for all the scheduling capabilities.
Thanks!

(User must connect to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 with Update Rollup 4 or later. (Caution: If you are using earlier versions of Exchange Server with Entourage, we recommend that you do not install this beta edition of Entourage for Exchange Web Services.)
One has to wonder if that element is missing in your setup.

OS X Server fills out wrong PayloadType for Exchange Web Services

Hi,
I've noticed a problem with OS X Server, v 3.0.2, when you configure it to setup a user with a Mac OS X Exchange Web Services (EWS) account.
There is a drop down to choose between iOS (for Exchange Active Sync) or OS X (for Exchange Web Services).
If you select EWS and fill out the fields, the generated .mobileconfig file has
PayloadType com.apple.eas.account
followed by your EWS settings.
When you install it on the Mac it also reports it as an iOS setting and does not add the account.
If you manually edit the mobileconfig file, changing PayloadType to
com.apple.ews.account
before trying to load it onto the mac, it accepts the EWS account and you can then see it listed in System Preferences->Internet accounts.
Cheers,

Slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac?)

We're experiencing slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services versus MAPI, OWA, and Outlook Anywhere. I'm not totally certain that it is Exchange Web Services or specifically Outlook 2011 for Mac. I attempted to test with the Mac Mail
App, but it makes it difficult to tell when the attachment has been uploaded and the file has been sent. Here's what we're seeing (10mb file):
MAPI / RPC/HTTPS / OWA: 10-15 seconds upload time
Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac): 60-90 seconds upload time
Thoughts? Any idea why we would see such a drastic difference in attachment upload time? Any way to prove definitively that it is Exchange Web Services vs. Outlook 2011 for Mac? We've tried it from multiple locations with multiple different machines,
and although the upload times vary (some locations have more bandwidth etc) the ratios remain similar.

Hi ,
Does all the user occurred the issue ?
If only special user, I recommend you do the following steps and test:
1.Remove and re-add the email account and check if this helps to resolve the issue.
To remove and add the email accounts:
Open Outlook > GO to Tools > Accounts > Click on "Minus" symbol to remove and "Plus" to add an Email account.
2.Creating a new user profile:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2439218/
3. If the issue persists, rebuild the data base and check the results:

You can also post it on Office for MAC forum to get special support about the difference between Outlook and Outlook for MAC.

Exchange Web Services are not currently available for this request because none of the Client Access Servers in the destination site could process the request.

Hi,
I am using EWS Java APIs and passing OAuth tokens to fetch data from office 365 mailboxes.
Because I am developing Web APIs I preferred using "Application Permissions" defined in Azure active directory application for Office 365, and used "client credential flow" OAuth flow to fetch OAuth token specific to application which will
allow "Have full access via EWS to all mailboxes in the organisation".
After fetching token with the procedure specified in the document "http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2015/01/21/building-demon-or-service-apps-with-office-365-mail-calendar-and-contacts-apis-oauth2-client-credential-flow.aspx"
I passed this token to EWS Java APIs,
it gave me error saying:
microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ServiceResponseException: Exchange Web Services are not currently available for this request because none of the Client Access Servers in the destination site could process the request.
I tried similar thing with EWS managed APIs for .net. Got similar error.
Can anyone provide some help and direction to resolve this error.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Pranjal

Best practice for consuming web services

Hi
we are consuming web service in orchestration by "Add Generated Item".By using this option it creates 1 orch,1xsd file and some bindings.
we have different projects for schemas,maps and orchestration under our solution in visual studio.
Now i need to know that what will be the best practice for consuming web service in orchestration i mean in which project should i use "add generated item" (in orchstration project or in schemas project) coz it generates both 1 orch and 1
schema.
thanks

From a service orientation perspective you should abstract the service artifacts from the other artifacts. Otherwise it will be very difficult to update the service interface without affecting the other artifacts. For example you don't want to have to redeply
your entire application if only one field changes in the service you consume.
So I typically generate the items, remove the unnecessary stuff, and put them in a separate project.
Depending on the control you have over the services you want to consume, it would even be better to create another layer of abstraction. By that I mean create your own interface (schema) and map that one to the one the service exposes. This basically
is only necessary if you consume external services that are beyond your control. By abstracting the interface it exposes, you limit the impact of changes of that interface on the rest of your system. All changes are abstracted behind your own interface.
If you consume internal services, you can probably control the way the interface is defined. In a service oriented world all internal services expose a well known interface, based on the domain objects you have within your organisation.

Mail Connection Failures And EWS (Exchange Web Service) Errors

Hi,
I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on Friday, and was able to set up my Mail, iCal, and Address Book very quickly and easily. Everything has been working great until today, when I experienced an issue with emails with attachments. The company I work for uses Exchange 2007 hosted on Rackspace.
When sending an email with attachments, I sporadically receive a connection error. This is the same error that I usually get if a server goes offline or I lose my Internet connection - the one where you get the choice to either try again, send later, or use another server to send the email. I will receive this error over and over, and can then send an email with attachments a few minutes later without issue, so it is definitely a sporadic problem. I have not had this issue with emails that did not contain attachments. On at least one occasion, an email with attachments was delivered to the recipient successfully but failed to show up in my Sent Items either in Mail or on the Exchange Server's web mail client.
Rackspace was unable to diagnose the issue, but they have had several reports of the same problem. I looked in the console and saw several errors logged by Mail, all which appeared to happen around the same times that I had the connection failures for the messages with attachments.

Just wanted to report this issue in case this is something that other people are experiencing, and to see if Apple's engineers could look in to it. There is a simple workaround, which is to set up a regular SMTP server as the outgoing mail server for the Exchange account, and to use this instead of the outgoing Exchange server set up by Snow Leopard.
Thanks,

How to assign Tasks to other users using Exchange Web Service.

How to assign Tasks to other users using Exchange Web Service.
Any workaround also would help

Hi Glen,
I am trying to use ExtendedPropertyType and put in UpdaterItemType as in this code as below. Although it is not updating the Owner
field.
I have tried it both by Propertyname and PropertyID. Although new custom property's canbe
added but to change an existing one like 'Owner' ? Would this be the right method.
2. And Is ProprertyID a fixed value as 0x811f or does it need to be calculated.
3. Is 'Owner' the right propertname for assigning a task ?
Thanks a lot.
Please see code below for reference.
PathToExtendedFieldType pathExtended = new PathToExtendedFieldType();
//pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetId = DistinguishedPropertySetType.PublicStrings;
pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetId = DistinguishedPropertySetType.Task;
pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetIdSpecified = true;
pathExtended.PropertyId = 0x811f;
pathExtended.PropertyIdSpecified = true;
//pathExtended.PropertyName = "Owner";
pathExtended.PropertyType = MapiPropertyTypeType.String;
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty = new ExtendedPropertyType[1];
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty[0] = new ExtendedPropertyType();
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty[0].ExtendedFieldURI = pathExtended;
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty[0].Item = "[email protected]";
SetItemFieldType set1 = new SetItemFieldType();
set1.Item = pathExtended;
set1.Item1 = ciSetAT;
UpdateItemType request = new UpdateItemType();
request.ItemChanges = new ItemChangeType[1] { new ItemChangeType() };
request.ItemChanges[0].Item = itemId;
request.ItemChanges[0].Updates = new ItemChangeDescriptionType[2];
request.ItemChanges[0].Updates[0] = setstart;

Fetching all mails in Inbox from Exchange Web Services Managed API and storing them as a .eml files

I want to fetch all mails in the Inbox folder using EWS Managed API and store them as .eml.
I can store file once I get the file content as a byte[] will
not be difficult, as I can do:
File.WriteAllBytes("c:\\mails\\"+mail.Subject+".eml",content);
The problem will be to fetch (1) all mails with (2)
all headers (like from, to, subject) (I am keeping information of those values of from, to and
other properties somewhere else, so I need them too) and (3)byte[]
EmailMessage.MimeContent.Content. Actually I am lacking understanding of
Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemView,
Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.BasePropertySet and
Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemSchema
thats why I am finding it difficult.
My primary code is:
When I create PropertySet as
follows:
PropertySet properties = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, ItemSchema.MimeContent);
I get following exception:
The property MimeContent can't be used in FindItem requests.
I dont understand
(Q1) What these ItemSchema and BasePropertySet are
(Q2) And how we are supposed to use them
So I removed ItemSchema.MimeContent:
PropertySet properties = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
I wrote simple following code to get all mails in inbox:
ItemView view = new ItemView(50);
view.PropertySet = properties;
FindItemsResults<Item> findResults;
List<EmailMessage> emails = new List<EmailMessage>();
do
findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view);
foreach (var item in findResults.Items)
emails.Add((EmailMessage)item);
Console.WriteLine("Loop");
view.Offset = 50;
while (findResults.MoreAvailable);
Above I kept page size of ItemView to
50, to retrieve no more than 50 mails at a time, and then offsetting it by 50 to get next 50 mails if there are any. However it goes in infinite loop and continuously prints Loop on
console. So I must be understanding pagesize and offset wrong.
I want to understand
(Q3) what pagesize, offset and offsetbasepoint in ItemView constructor
means
(Q4) how they behave and
(Q5) how to use them to retrieve all mails in the inbox
I didnt found any article online nicely explaining these but just giving code samples. Will appreciate question-wise explanation despite it may turn long.

1) With FindItems it will only return a subset of Item properties see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508824(v=exchg.80).aspx for a list and explanation. To get the mime content you need to use a GetItem (or Load) I would suggest you read
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2010/03/16/loading-properties-for-multiple-items-with-one-call-to-exchange-web-services.aspx which also covers of paging as well.
3) offset is from the base your setting the offset to 50 each time which means your only going to get the 50 items from the offset of 50 which just creates an infinite loop. You should use
view.Offset
= +50;
to increment the Offset although it safer to use
view.Offset += findResults.Items.Count;
which increments the offset based on the result of the last FindItems operation.
5) try something like
ItemView iv = new ItemView(100, 0);
FindItemsResults<Item> firesults = null;
PropertySet psPropSet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly);
iv.PropertySet = psPropSet;
PropertySet itItemPropSet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly) { ItemSchema.MimeContent, ItemSchema.Subject, EmailMessageSchema.From };
do
firesults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, iv);
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(firesults.Items, itItemPropSet);
foreach(Item itItem in firesults){
Object MimeContent = null;
if(itItem.TryGetProperty(ItemSchema.MimeContent,out MimeContent)){
Console.WriteLine("Processing : " + itItem.Subject);
iv.Offset += firesults.Items.Count;
} while (firesults.MoreAvailable);
Cheers

Exchange Web Services (EWS) - InvalidCastException

I have a service that reads the new emails in an Office 365 Exchange mailbox, and saves attachments in a directory.
For most emails it runs well, however I'm getting a lot of the following exceptions lately:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemAttachment' to type 'Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FileAttachment'
I will post a piece of my code, could anyone please have a look and tell me what I need to change? It's .NET 4.0, Visual Studio 2010, Visual Basic and the latest Exchange Web Services api, 2.2.
Dim sf As SearchFilter = New SearchFilter.SearchFilterCollection(LogicalOperator.And, New SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(EmailMessageSchema.IsRead, False))
Dim findResults As FindItemsResults(Of Item) = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, sf, New ItemView(128))
If findResults.Count > 0 Then
Dim items As ServiceResponseCollection(Of GetItemResponse) =
service.BindToItems(findResults.Select(Function(item) item.Id),
New PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, EmailMessageSchema.From, EmailMessageSchema.Sender, EmailMessageSchema.ToRecipients, EmailMessageSchema.IsRead))
For Each itItem As Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.Item In findResults.Items
If TypeOf itItem Is EmailMessage Then
Dim mailItem As EmailMessage = DirectCast(itItem, EmailMessage)
If itItem.HasAttachments Then
itItem.Load()
For Each Attachment In itItem.Attachments
If TypeOf Attachment Is FileAttachment Then
Dim fa As FileAttachment = itItem.Attachments(0)
pathAttachment = "c:\temp\" & fa.name 'not actual code, but to make this code readable and to the point
Try
fa.Load(pathAttachment) 'save file

It looks like you've hardcoded to always access the first attachment, when really you want to access the current attachment in the For Each loop. (Unless my VB skills are rusty, which is definitely possible!)
Dim fa As FileAttachment = itItem.Attachments(0)

Exchange web services: why is ItemId not constant? [continued]

As some others have discuss this problem before (e.g.,
Exchange web services: why is ItemId not constant?), I want to talk about the solution, I have done what people have suggested by stamping the Guid as an extended property, For me this solution is kind of nice (although I do not know how to make it work
with the occurrences) but only as long as the application works, once the application restarts the extended properties of the items disappear, so my problem now, is “How to stamp the extended property on the EWS item and make it constantly there?”
This is the code of updating the calendar items (appointments)
public void SetGuidForAppointement(Appointment appointment)
appointment.SetExtendedProperty((ExtendedPropertyDefinition)_appointementIdPropertyDefinition, Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
appointment.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AlwaysOverwrite, SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendToNone);
And these are the properties definition needed above.
_appointementIdPropertyDefinition = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(DefaultExtendedPropertySet.Appointment, "AppointmentID", MapiPropertyType.String);
_propertyDefinitionBases = new PropertyDefinitionBase[] { _appointementIdPropertyDefinition, ItemSchema.ParentFolderId, AppointmentSchema.Start, AppointmentSchema.End,
AppointmentSchema.LegacyFreeBusyStatus, AppointmentSchema.Organizer };
PropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, _propertyDefinitionBases);
So if anyone has done this before could he/she provide me with an example that keeps the extended property stamped on the item even if the application exited.
Thanks

hello, thanks for the reply ... but it did not work .. when I re-run the application and use the following code it returns nothing , as the extended property is not saved in the exchange element. Eventhough I have replaced the "DefaultExtendedPropertySet.Appointment"
with "DefaultExtendedPropertySet.PublicStrings" and another time with my own Guid.
public string GetGuidForAppointement(Appointment appointment)
var result = "";
var item = (Item)appointment;
foreach (var extendedProperty in item.ExtendedProperties)
if (extendedProperty.PropertyDefinition.Name == "AppointmentID")
result = extendedProperty.Value.ToString();
return result;
Can you please send me a small code example ?
Thanks for your time.

Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
Defining agent for each?
Gateway for all?
BPEL security extension?
The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
Regards

It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.
