  • Article

Want to learn Exchange Web Service but not sure how and from where? Here are the few articles that I share very often with partners and customers who want to learn more about Exchange Web Services.

Undoubtedly there is so much information out there and that’s too in such a short span of time. You better start with Inside Exchange Web Services book from MSPRESS and then the rest of the articles can be utilized.

For example user A is having a@a.com is primary SMTP address and a1@a.com and a2@a.com are 2 alieas. if any one in same domain let say B b@a.com is writing mail to A using a1@a.com at that time I want to find out the primary SMTP address of user A which is a@a.com. Can you please guide me for same. Thanks in advance. Hitendra hp@advali.no

    @Hitendra... you need to make an AD query for that user account and look at ProxyAddresses property to list down all the Addresses.. The list may contain following addresses SMTP:a@a.com smtp:a1@a.com smtp:a2@a.com X500:/abc/xyz.com... the SMTP in uppercase is the primary SMTP address here...
