Example: Exchange 5.5 Distribution List [MIIS]

You must select the following attributes from the Select Attributes property page for your your Exchange 5.5 management agent to provision an Exchange 5.5 distribution list:

The following example shows how to use a rules extension to provision an Exchange 5.5 distribution list. Be sure to add a reference to logging.dll to use the LogException method.

[Visual Basic .NET]

Public Sub Provision(ByVal mventry As MVEntry) _
	 Implements IMVSynchronization.Provision

	Dim ex55MA As ConnectedMA
	Dim csentry As CSEntry
	Dim nickName, displayName, smtpAddress, orAddress As String
	Dim dn As ReferenceValue

	Try
		 If "group" = mventry.ObjectType Then

			ex55MA = mventry.ConnectedMAs("Fabrikam Ex55 MA")

			nickName	= mventry("mailNickname").Value
			displayName = mventry("DisplayName").Value
			smtpAddress = mventry("SMTPAddress").Value
			orAddress   = mventry("ORaddress").Value

			' Construct the distinguished name
			dn = ex55MA.EscapeDNComponent("CN=" + mventry("cn").Value).Concat("cn=Recipients,ou=fabrikam,o=com")

			If 0 = ex55MA.Connectors.Count Then
			 csentry = ExchangeUtils.Create55Distributionlist(ex55MA, dn, nickName, displayName, smtpAddress, orAddress)
			End If
		 End If

	' Log and rethrow any exception
	Catch ex As Exception
		 Logging.Logging.LogException(ex, "Provision", "Caught exception", False)
		 Throw
	End Try
   End Sub

[C#]

void IMVSynchronization.Provision (MVEntry mventry)
	 {
		ConnectedMA ex55MA;
		CSEntry csentry;
		String nickName, displayName, smtpAddress, orAddress;
		ReferenceValue dn;

		try
		{
			 if( "group" == mventry.ObjectType )
			 {
				ex55MA = mventry.ConnectedMAs["Fabrikam Ex55 MA"];

				nickName	= mventry["mailNickname"].Value;
				displayName = mventry["DisplayName"].Value;
				smtpAddress = mventry["SMTPAddress"].Value;
				orAddress   = mventry["ORaddress"].Value;

				// Construct the distinguished name
				dn = ex55MA.EscapeDNComponent("CN=" + mventry["cn"].Value).Concat("cn=Recipients,ou=fabrikam,o=com");

				if(0 == ex55MA.Connectors.Count)
				{
				 csentry = ExchangeUtils.Create55Distributionlist(ex55MA, dn, nickName, displayName, smtpAddress, orAddress);
			}
			 }
	}

		// Log and rethrow any exception
		catch(Exception ex)
		{
			 Logging.Logging.LogException(ex, "Provision", "Caught exception", false);
			 throw;
	}
	 }
