Homemdb :

N=D1SNX607MB,CN=Servers,CN=Second Administrative Group,CN=Administrative
Groups,
CN=xxx,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=xxx,DC=com

i would like only the "Storage grp" ie 607MB-SG1-MBS1-Std and the server it
resides , ie D1SNX607MB. I do not want so much data.

What is the schema properties for the excxhange fields above ? Or how do i
"substr" from the result above to get what i want?

Dear James,

Don't know if it will be generic for all your homemdb strings, but what you
can do to extract your wanted data is the following:

Put this algorithm in a private function (returning an string array or
similair):
1. Split your string into a stringarray where you split on the comma's.
2. Loop your stringarray to split each element in it where you split on the
'='
3. Store each 'value' (= behind the '=') in a new array and return this.

Now call this private function in a new class' (eg. HomeMDB) constructor
(constructor should take the HomeMDB string) and save the array as a member
variable. Now create properties in this class like StorageGrp and Server
which map to its corresponding element in the stored array.

Hope this helps,
