Default how to get Exchange server?

I ran into a problem that most users don't have the CDO plug-in.

So now what I want is instead of each user running the code and using
the CurrentUser.ID, I want one administrator to run the code and be
able to determine the Exchange server of a given user.

Eg. an email comes in from Joe Bloe. Run code to return the server that
Joe Bloe belongs to.

The objsession.logon parameters asks for the username and the exchange
server - so I'm in a catch22 situation. It's the server name I'm trying
to determine!

Any ideas?

Thx,

J.

Hi Dmitry,

I managed to find another code snippet, tried it, and it worked!

However I don't entirely understand the logon parameters. I don't
specify a user profile, so what is it logging on as?

The code:

Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
objSession.Logon "", "", False, False, 0

Thx,

J.

Use the same EX server name as the one the admin uses. If the mailbox is
physically located on a different server, MAPI is smart enough to redirect.
