Fetching Mailbox Usage Location using Exchange Web Services (EWS)

Hi,
I need to obtain a mailbox user's Usage Location via EWS.
How do I get that. I know how to obtain it using Powershell.
But I can make use of EWS only to get the location.
I am using GetSearchableMailboxes EWS api to fetch other mailbox details.
Regards,

That property is not exposed directly via EWS or Autodiscover however when you do set it this should modify the Country Setting on the User object. So one way to get this is use the ResolveName operation and look at the Country setting of the business Address
eg
NameResolutionCollection ncCol = svc.ResolveName("[email protected]", ResolveNameSearchLocation.DirectoryOnly, true, new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties));
if (ncCol.Count ==1) {
if (ncCol[0].Contact.PhysicalAddresses[PhysicalAddressKey.Business] != null) {
Console.WriteLine(ncCol[0].Contact.PhysicalAddresses[PhysicalAddressKey.Business].CountryOrRegion);

Using Exchange Web Service (EWS) Streaming Notifications for a shared mailbox in Exchange Server, works or not?

Hi,
I am planning to develop an application to use EWS managed API streaming notification for listening the new email event of a shared mailbox. Will it will work or not? I knew it works for a personal mailbox, where the authentication of EWS can be performed
with the associated Active directory account. For the shared mailbox in Exchange Server, is there such an Active Directory account associated?
Thanks,
Richard

>> Are you saying that if an Active Directory account has the access to a shared mailbox, and then this account can be used for creating the Streaming subscription for that mailbox
Yes that's correct (try it yourself with the EWSEditor)
>> In other words, the way how Exchange Server works is that the new messages like new emails are automatically sending to all of the AD accounts which have the access to a mailbox.
Not sure what you mean by this ? A Shared a Mailbox is just like any other Exchange Mailbox if you have rights to the Folder then you can create a subscription against it. There is no automation involved.

HT5847 Exchange ActiveSync protocol vs Exchange Web Services (EWS)

This article states
"... and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol."
But in Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14873 it states it uses Exchange Web Services (EWS) not ActiveSync.
These are two completely diffrent protocols. And it means a lot, if ActiveSync is being added to OS X or not.

Original Apple article that I am questioning is at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847

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;

Explanation of Microsoft example about exchange web service (EWS)

Hi all,
I need to send some emails generated with C# code, by using EWS (exchange web service).
Microsoft gives
this example of code, but it doesn't contain any host for the exchange server.
So i do not understand how it is supposed to work ???

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)

Anyone know how to use Exchange Web Service API in PB Classic 12.5

Trying to figure out how to use the api/dll's of the EWS. I am new to web services in pb so I seem to be going nowhere fast. If you have used it I would appreciate some guidance or better yet code/instruction on how to use/access it/setup. I need to be able to get to exchange (in this case using an office365 test account) and read emails/calendar info etc..
Thanks for any help..

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,
faz_uk.

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 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,

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,

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:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2360509
You can also post it on Office for MAC forum to get special support about the difference between Outlook and Outlook for MAC.

Using ABAP Web Service tor convert IDoc to XML and transfer to SOAP Server

Hi all,
I have a problem to use ABAP Web Service to convert IDoc's to XML and then send them to a SOAP Server.
Currently we have the following landscape:
SAP->XI->Archive
The sap-system (ECC6.0) sends an IDoc to the Exchange Infrastructe. The XI maps the IDoc and converts it to the required XML format, used by the archive. Afterwards, the XML documents are sended to the SOAP Server.
So I'm trying to replace the Exchange Infrastructure with ABAP Web Service.
I've read a lot of posts and documents reagarding ABAP Web Serivce, converting IDoc's to XML, RFC and so on, but I'm not able to do the replacement.
I don't know how to start and which steps are required.
The required roles and authorizations at the sap-system and the service for soamanager and the Web Service Viewer are available.
First I thought to create the RFC and partner profiles and then the report to convert IDoc to XML as a BAPI. With this BAPI I supposed to create and define a Web Service. The problem is, I don't know how to trigger the report if the Idoc should be send to the archive.
Hopefully, someone has an idea or a how-to for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Christoph

A suggestion to trigger the BAPI / WebService at the IDoc receiving is to use a user exit or enhanced inside the idoc function module. When the idoc arrived to the idoc port the system start the related function module and then your user exit/enhanced in which you invoke your BAPI.
I hope this help.
Ciao.

Using Encrypted Web Service connections within Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - FP3

Hi all,
I'm running the latest version of Xcelsius Server 2008 and have setup a simplistic dashboard that uses 4 web service connections to dynamically call queries within a SQL Server 2008 database. The dashboard has been exported to html and I can serve this to the WWW.
I have since created a new https website (using a self signed certificate) and can now serve my Xcelsius dashboard via https. My problem is that I have had to run my old website in parallel (as it serves the said non-encrypted web service) which is linked within the swf source (that is running on the new https enabled website).
Upon trying to alter my existing xlf file so that it references the encrypted web service URL (which works fine via the browser) it prompts me to accept the self signed certificate. Once I click yes, and then add the certificate to the certificate store the whole thing locks up and I am forced to close Xcelsius.
Am I right in thinking that Xcelsius will not accept self signed certificates or encrypted web services at all? For me this is big security concern because if I want to share my dashboard via the WWW I have to accept the fact that I need to run an unsecure web service.
Is this something that is only supported in Xcelsius Enterprise?
TIA

Hello Paul,
Sorry not to have replied to this sooner.
We have had experience of hosting Xcelsius Dashboards using Https: for one of our clients here at Flynet.
We noticed a number of issues , we did have problems relating to the Firewall on our Gateway server for example. We also had issues with the number of active connections processed when the dashboard is running. I think the default for Https: is 2 , so the connections can be queued up. Have you retried with one connection open. The Dashboard we did however did have up to 12 connections, so Xcelsius can handle multiple connections.
When developing the Dashboards using Xcelsius I did have to import using the Web Service URL of the remote server which was Https: However due to issues sometimes with our Gateway Firewall and the way our Local Network had to access the https: URL , what I tended to do was develop using a localhost Web service and then switch the URL to use the https: Web Service once the dashboard was exported to the server it was to be hosted on.
What we did notice for example is that we could have a dashboard running locally quite happily using the https: web services which are actually on [http://www.flynetviewer.com] then we would start getting #2 type flash errors. To solve this we had to restart our Windows Firewall on our gateway server. We could run the dashboard fine if run from our web site.
I am not sure if the issues you have are related to this. I have had problems when I had to import the https: web service URL on my local machine , I am prompted for the Username password for the Https: location , but when trying to import Xcelsius has a problem and exits. Due to these problems I tended to use a local Web service when developing. I know this isn't always practical.
I was running on Vista 64 bit , but I also have XP and Server 2003 running on Virtual machines.
I will be happy to share information my experiences with you.
Best Regards,

Updated to add: I have just successfully imported an https: Web service. Mapped it to the dashboard , run it and invoked sucessfully. This was on Windows XP professional SP2.
I did the same thing on Windows Vista 64 bit and had an issue. So not sure what operating system you are using or whether it's a Certificate thing. I can try and find out a bit more on our Certificate if you need to find out what the issue is.
The Vista issue seems to have been resolved by running Xcelsius as Administrator.
When successfully importing I was prompted for the Username and Password for the URL but not the Certificate.
