Reading out MS Exchange database

[Anon]

Hi all,

I have running a box Mandrake with Apache and PHP/MySQL here. Also there is a dedicated MS Exchange box running here.

Is there a possibility to read out the user data? Every user has its own information like: Phone, adress etc.

Also, is it possible to get the user/password data from the DOMAIN server? For authentication.

You can query Exchange's data through LDAP (if you have it running). Check Microsoft's Technet to get the LDAP keys.

Another posibility is to get the Exchange Box do a cron job with the export directory clause :

export.bat

C:\Exchsrvr\bin\admin /e C:\output.csv /d ExchangeHost /n /o C:\Export.cfg

export.cfg

[Export]
HomeServer=ExchangeHost
ExportObject=All
InformationLevel=Ful
Hiddenobjects=Yes
Subcontainers=Yes

And you get a CSV file with the following format:
Obj-Class,First Name,Last name,Display Name,Alias Name,Directory Name,Primary Windows NT Account,Home-Server,E-mail address,E-mail Addresses,Members,Obj-Container,Hide from AB
Easyly readble from PHP.

For the Micro$oft authentication read about NTNLM or poke into Win32 PHP to if there's something implemented to talk with Microsofts user database (SAM).
