Hi! Group

Need to extract data from Exchange Server and loading it in a
datawarehouse (Microsoft Analysis service). The datamart will also
keep information from a telephone switch board and some other stuff
from diverse system. The goal is to get a consolidated view of what
people are doing during the day.


I know there different API:s to use and in some cases it's possible
to
query the store with SQL.


Need to know:
Who is the organizer of a meeting?
Who attended?
When did it start?
When did it ended?
What was the subject?


But, just to make a first pilot I'm wondering if there is any
administration tool that can dump calendar/appointment information to
a text file. In that case I can use an ETL tool and quickly import
the
data to a relational database.


I guess there are different approaches to this and would appreciate
your thoughts in this matter.


Cheers
Thomas

Hello,

depending on your Exchange version you have different options.

Exchange 2007 supports WebServices which can be used. Another option is
WebDAV (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa486282.aspx and my
website http://www.infinitec.de)

Kind regards,
Henning Krause
