You can also leverage CDOEXM from Visual Studio .NET by using COM interoperability. The following code shows how to create a new mailbox by using the DirectoryEntry class in the .NET Framework for ADSI and by using CDOEXM:
using System;
//You need to add references to CDOEXM and
System.DirectoryServices for this
//to work
using CDOEXM;
using System.DirectoryServices;
namespace MBSample
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string defaultDC = "DC=domain,DC=com";
string alias = "thomriz";
string fullName = "Tom Rizzo";
string password = "password1234";
string domainName = "domain.com";
string homeMDB = "CN=Mailbox Store (Server),CN= Storage Group,"
+ "CN=InformationStore,CN= Server,CN=Servers,"
+ "CN=Your Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,"
+ "CN=Your Org,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,"
+ "CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=Com";
DirectoryEntry container, user;
CDOEXM.IMailboxStore mailbox;
//Create a new user in the "users" container
//Set the sAMAccountName and the password
container = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://CN=users," + defaultDC);
user = container.Children.Add("CN=" + fullName, "user");
user.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Add(alias);
user.CommitChanges();
user.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[]{password});
//Enable the new user:
//ADS_UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT = 0x200
user.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value = 0x200;
user.CommitChanges();
//Obtain IMailboxStore interface
//Create the mailbox
//commit the changes
mailbox = (IMailboxStore)user.NativeObject;
mailbox.CreateMailbox(homeMDB);
user.CommitChanges();
return;
}
}
