Hello All,
Iam doing a greeting application which sends greetings to all employees of
our organisation. iam using outlook object to send the mails from
presentation server where outlook was configured. my application worked
perfectly.
but, now my management brought MS Exchange server and all the
profiles(employee Profiles) have been moved to exchange server from
presentation server and iam unable to send mails to users since his profile
is not in presentation server.

how should i invoke exchange server outlook from remote system so i can send
mails to all.

Thanx in advance

You can still use Outlook but I prefer CDOSYS (CDONTS). Here's a VBScript
example using a pickup folder:

Then become very good friends with your Exchange Server Administrator. (Buy
flowers or a bottle as appropriate.) There are a zillion ways to interact
with ES and an equal number of ways to configure ES to facilitate or
obstruct your efforts.
