Let’s Try To Hash This Out

[This is now documented here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff960307.aspx ]

A few years ago, I blogged an algorithm to calculate the hash used by Windows Search in MAPI urls. This algorithm is now enshrined in the MSDN. I’ve been asked by development to blog some augmentations to this algorithm to bring it more in line with what we actually send to Search.

  1. The binary blob to be encoded will be the PR_ENTRYID of the store in most cases, but for cached Exchange stores (both public and private), the binary blob should be PR_MAPPING_SIGNATURE, found in the profile.
  2. After computing the hash for a public folder store’s binary blob, but before hashing in the OST path, we hash in the constant 0x2E505542 to make sure the hash is uniquely different from the private store’s hash. This constant represents the string “.PUB”.

Below you’ll find updated code which incorporates these new bits, along with some support code which will pull the relevant bits from the profile which can be used to tell if a store is public or private, if it’s cached, and the path to the OST. If you were to incorporate this code into your own project, the function you’d call is ComputeStoreHash, which takes as its input the session pointer as well as PR_ENTRYID, PR_SERVICE_UID, and PR_MDB_PROVIDER from the message store table. The rest of the information it needs it gets from the profile. For output, this function returns the hash as computed from PR_MAPPING_SIGNATURE, if the store is a cached Exchange store, and the hash as computed from PR_ENTRYID.

BTW – the HrEmsmdbUIDFromStore support function here is interesting. It’s a multi-ex aware replacement for using pbGlobalProfileSectionGuid to open the profile section for an Exchange mailbox. If you want, you could augment this function by having it look for PR_EMSMDB_LEGACY and reporting if the mailbox being checked is considered the Legacy mailbox which would match what you get with pbGlobalProfileSectionGuid.

I’ve tested this code against my own stores and the hashes I get match with what I see in Windows Search. Look forward to a version of this code showing up in the next version of MFCMAPI in September. Enjoy!

    Re: HrEmsmdbUIDFromStore. Note that you can also retrieve the profile section GUID directly from the message store by reading the PR_EMSMDB_SECTION_UID property.

    Good point - this function works without actually opening the store, so it's the better general purpose approach. But if you do have a pointer to the store object already, you can shortcut this work with that property.
