Manipulating Exchange 2003 shared contacts folder remotely
- by andybak
I've got a CRM web app running on a remote server that needs to synchronise it's contacts with the in-house Exchange 2003 shared contacts.
I know very little about Exchange - we are pricing a job for a new client so I'm really just getting a sense of the scope at this stage.
Exchange 2003 doesn't seem to support web-services. What would the typical approach to this problem be? My initial instinct would be to open port 80 in the Exchange server, run a simple webserver and POST to it and then talk to exchange via OLE automation scripting (if that's what people are still calling it!)
Any other suggestions?
