Iterating through Outlook users (Exchange5.5 vs Exchange2K)

[Albert Silliman]

I am using VBScript to iterate through Exchange mail users
and access each user's contacts via MAPI using the
following code:

//logged on as Exchange Administrator
Set ol = CreateObject ("Outlook.Application")
Set ns = ol.GetNameSpace ("MAPI")
.....
// for each user get Contacts folder
Set contacts = ns.GetSharedDefaultFolder (myRecipient, 10)
// read contacts, etc.

The above code works against Exchange 5.5 but NOT against
Exchange 2K. If anyone has any ideas what needs to be
done differently in Win 2K, I would be very grateful for
your help.

I believe this issue is this: Just because you're the Exchange administrator doesn't mean you have access to users' mailboxes. That's a change in Exchange 2000. You'll need to use an account that does have the necessary permission on the mailboxes or grant such to your admin account.
