[python-win32] Extended MAPI : ConfigureMsgService Problem

[Whitaker, Simon SITI-SITI]

Cheers Mark, now we are cooking with Gas!

The "MakeIID" works a treat, and the reason why the code then failed immediately after is due to a silly error on my part. From the original post...

---
# Administer the profile services
serviceAdmin = profileAdmin.AdminServices(profileName, None, 0, 0)
serviceAdmin.CreateMsgService('MSEMS', None, 0, 0)
serviceAdmin.CreateMsgService('MSPST MS', None, 0, 0)
 
# Get the service table - looking for service IDs
msgServiceTable = serviceAdmin.GetMsgServiceTable(0)
msgServiceRows = mapi.HrQueryAllRows(msgServiceTable, None, None, None, 0)
 
# Get the service ID of the first service
serviceUID = msgServiceRows[1][0][1]
---

The last line actually gets the UID of the second service, ie: the MS PST which is why it couldn't be configured as an MSEMS service.

Ooops.

Changed the last line to "serviceUID = msgServiceRows[0][0][1]" and it works fine.

Thanks again - saves me getting VisC installed and trying to write it ;)

Simon

I have got past your immediate stumbling-block, just to hit another.

It seems very likely that this is a GUID encoded as a binary buffer (being 16 bytes (128 bits) long):

Adding:

  serviceUID = pythoncom.MakeIID(serviceUID, 1)
  print "now is", serviceUID

Results in:

now is {607D544A-A7BF-412D-8EC7-E376FF96572C}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\temp\make_profile.py", line 41, in ?
    serviceAdmin.ConfigureMsgService(serviceUID, 0, 0, propsTuple) # <- !!! FAILS HERE !!!
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221233, 'OLE error 0x8004010f', None, None)


0x8004010f is MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND.  This is as far as I got.

Mark.
