GCReconnect: Please Don’t Delete the Profile

  • Article

I had some extra time today, so I put together updates I’ve been working on for the GCReconnect sample/tool which we use to demonstrate/test referrals. The key addition here is an oft requested switch, –k, which requests that we keep the profile that GCReconnect built. I've posted the updated sample here.

C:>gcreconnect Creates a profile, optionally enabling referral and reconnect logic, and tests name lookup.

Usage:  GCReconnect [-?] -m mailbox -s server [-e] [-x] [-n name] [-l] [-r] [-w]

Options:         -m mailbox Specifies the mailbox to log on to.         -s server  Specifies the Exchange server where the mailbox resides.         -e         Enable referral and reconnect                    If referral and reconnect are not enabled, MAPI will connect                    directly to the Exchange server for name lookup         -x         Enable additional referral and reconnect settings for Exchange 2007                    Implies -e         -a auth    Use specificied auth.                    Default is 9 (RPC_C_AUTHN_GSS_NEGOTIATE).         -n name    Specifies a name to resolve with ResolveName                    If not specified, QueryIdentity will be used instead         -l         Loop over MAPILogonEx.                    Will log on and off repeatedly until key is hit         -r         Loop over ResolveName and OpenMsgStore.                    Will log on once and do name lookup and message store open repeatedly until key is hit                    Requires -n, not valid with -l         -w         Wait for keyboard input before and after creating and configuring profile         -k         Do not delete the profile when done.         -?         Displays this usage information.

Anybody think this is worth posting as a project up on Codeplex? Or would I be better off just incorporating all of this into MFCMAPI?
