CDOEXM & C#.Net : How to mail-disable public folders in Exchange Server 2003 SP2 – Native Mode?

  • Article

I created this code snippet, which helps us to mail-disable in the Exchange Server 2003 SP2 (Native mode) – public folders. For this i tried this, i used C#.Net & CDOEXM. In this below code, i try to mail-disable the public folder named “publicfolder1”. I used Visual Studio.Net 2008, C#.Net and CDOEXM – Collaboration Data Objects for Exchange Management – 2003 to do this:

 using System;

 using System.Collections.Generic;

 using System.Linq;

 using System.Text;

 using CDO;

 using CDOEXM;

 using System.Collections; 

 namespace MailDisableCSharp

 {

     class Program

     {

         static void Main(string[] args)

         { 

  

             try

             {

                 CDO.Folder objFolder = new CDO.Folder();

                 CDOEXM.IMailRecipient objRecip;

                 string fullurl;

                 fullurl = "https://domain/public/publicfolder1";

  

                 objFolder.DataSource.Open(

                                 fullurl,

                                 null,

                                 ADODB.ConnectModeEnum.adModeReadWrite,

                                 ADODB.RecordCreateOptionsEnum.adFailIfNotExists,

                                 ADODB.RecordOpenOptionsEnum.adOpenExecuteCommand,

                                 "Administrator",

                                 "Password"); 

  

                 objRecip = (CDOEXM.IMailRecipient)objFolder;

                 objRecip.MailDisable();

                 objFolder.DataSource.Save();

                 Console.Write("Success");

              }

             catch (Exception e1)

             {

                 Console.WriteLine(e1.Message);

            } 

  

         }

     }

 }

Note:

+ To execute this code, you may try with VS.Net 2005 or VS.Net 2008, C#.Net.

+ Make sure you need to use the following references: CDOEXM – Microsoft CDO for Exchange Management 2000 & CDOEX - Microsoft CDO for Exchange 2000.

+ This code helps us to mail-disable the public folder “public folder1”.

+ Also we need to make sure to pass valid credentials username(Administrator) & password(Password) to execute this, along with valid fullURL – the public folder needs to be mail-disabled & domain – exchange domain.

Hope this helps. Happy programming!!
