Hi!

I have a generic user on our AD that have a mailbox and this user receive an
email every morning...

I created an application with Microsoft Office 2007 PIA and Visual Studio
2005.



The application get the email from today, parse it and create an excel file
with it..

I first received a warning but I disabled the warning message in the trust
center of Outlook 2007 (Allow, Deny, Help)...

Now I have no warning and when logged as my generic user everything works...

I created a scheduled task on the server to run my application as the
generic user but it doesn't work... it keeps running but I don't see any
thing done...

Outlook.exe process consume 0% of the CPU...

How can I make this task works?

Thanks!

Outlook is not suitable to automate from a server or a scheduled task. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757/ for more information on this issue.

Each version of Exchange has its own best automation solutions. The
microsoft.public.exchange.development newsgroup or the forum at
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/...=838&SiteID=17
should be able to help you determine what server-based solution would be best
for your particular environment.

Hi!

Sorry to disappoint you but I found a solution...

I had to add some code...

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass outLook = new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass();

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.NameSpace nameSpace = outLook.Session;

//This makes it work, I need a session since no Outlook session are open.
The last true is the new session parameter
nameSpace.Logon(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, false, true);

Here is the link to the MSDN documentation...

Thanks for your effort but you miss the answer...

Just because you can call Namespace.Logon doesn't make your approach
supported. It is not guaranteed to work reliably, for reasons including those
in the article I suggested. If you want a reliable solution, you should take
a different approach.
