How to Use MFCMapi in Exchange 2010 Server itself

By Default you cannot use MFCMapi in the Exchange 2010 server itself

You will end up with an error

MAPIInitialize failed with error 0×80004005 == MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED

Because of the missing component “ExchangeMapiCdo.EXE”

Where you don’t want to install Outlook to get that component , like earlier versions

Step 1:

Download and Install

Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1

Install on Exchange 2010 Server
