Duplicate Exchange Aliases
|
|
|
| I have two questions dealing with having to users with the same
exchange alias (but different login names).
When two users with the same Exchange email Alias both have mailboxes,
to which
mailbox will the URL "http://server/user" go to? ...user@a.com or
user@b.com's mailbox?
The reason I ask is because I'm writing an app that forwards to a
specific user's mailbox, and I have duplicate exchange aliases (with
different UPNs), but don't know how to "seperate" their mailbox urls.
My second question is: How do you pass a UPN username in a url? What
I mean, is if I type [url]http://admin assword@server/exchange,[/url] I will be
directed to admin's mailbox. However, if I have an
"admin@domain1.com" and a "admin@domain2.com", then I need to pass the
whole UPN to specify who's mailbox is being accessed. I tried passing
the ASCII base-16 equivalent of the UPN
([url]http:// admin%40domain1%2ecomassword
@server/exchange[/url]), but that
doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

| Well, I figured out an answer to my second problem... after a user
logs in (through my web login page), I look them up in the Active
directory and get their samaccount name, and log into exchange with
that.
However, my first question is still unanswered. I've noticed that
once a user is logged into http://server/exchange/, the user's
username/password is cached, so you need to manually go to
http://server/exchange/differentuser to switch users. That's why my
question is important. :P
There has to be some way to get to admin@a.com's mailbox while still
being able to get to admin@b.com's mailbox. Any help would be soo
great. I'm sure there *has* to be people out there who are hosting
multiple domain names. I wish microsoft would have thought ahead and
included better support for multiple domain names. Most email servers
handle it with ease.
