Description:

This sample extracts all attachments of a new message and saves them to the file system. This is especially useful if you want to save all attachments of a particular message on a regular basis (e. g. a log file of your Web server) to a specific directory in the file system. Note that the attachments are removed from the message and they are no longer available in the particular Exchange folder.

Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 script.

Known Issues:

This sample does not check if there is enough disk space and if the used NT account does have sufficient permissions to create and write files. Also it does not check if the file already exists and is not read-only.

Don't hide the mailbox or the public folder from the Global Address List (GAL), because the Microsoft Exchange Server Scripting and Routing script will fail to run if the mailbox or the public folder is not visible in the GAL.

Microsoft Exchange Server Scripting and Routing scripts are not running synchronously. It can take up to 60 seconds before the script is fired.

Prerequisites:

Make sure that Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 with the Microsoft Event Service is installed and running properly.

Installation:

See script homepage for detailed installation process description.
