HTTP/1.1 404 Resource Not Found - Security Descriptor

Raj · Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 21

Hi All,

This question is related to 404 (resource not found)
I am using WebDav technology to get folder details including security
descriptor. I am having a WebDav SQL Query to get folder details. If the
folders residing on the same exchange server where I am connecting to , I get
all details including security descriptor with out any problem. But if the
folders are residing on another exchange serer, I get details of folder but
not security descriptor! - Getting 404 error. So I have to go through each
folder individually to get the Security descriptor. IF not clear, I will
explain with examples

I have two exchange servers say - Exchange1 and Exchange2
Exchange1 contain say Folder F1 and contain subfolders F11,F12,F13,F14 and
so on
Exchange2 contain say Folder F2 and subfolders F21,F22,F23,F24 and so on

I am connecting to one exchange server - Say Exchange1 to get folder details.
When I use my SQL query to get all subfolder details from F1, I get details
including Security Descriptor but when I try to get subfolder details of F2
from Exchange1, I get details except Security Descriptor. The Status of
Security Descriptor is '404 Resource No Found'

So My questions are

1. What is the best option to solve this issue?
2. Any setting in Exchange server(Exchange1) will help us to get Security
Descriptor of other folders residing on other exchange servers?
3. What property help us to get the name of real exchange server where the
folders and subfolders reside?

Thanks

Raj

I'm pretty sure that you will need to query the server where there is a
local replica of the folder in question you trying to retrieve the Security
descriptor from. The folder hierarchy should be replicated to every Public
Folder Server but this doesn't contain the DACL's for the folder. What you
should be able to do is retrieve the replica list property
http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x66980102 which when you working
in WebDAV is a list of servers that contain a replica of this public folder
stored as Base64 encoded null terminated strings . Once you decode the
property you should then be able to firstly check if there's a replica on
the server your working with and query an appropriate server if not.

Hi Glen,

Thank you so much. Using that property I can see that list of exchange
servers which contain local replica of the folders.

one Doubt is, If a root folder local replica is present in a particular
exchange server, all subfolders also replicated on the same server?

DO you know what settings in exchange side to set so that all folders are
locally replicated?

Regards

Rajesh

No you cant count on this I've setup public folder specifically so there
where different replica and visibility levels with Subfolders to meet
certain project requirements where there where geographic dispersed servers
and project teams.

There is no one setting to do this you really need to deal with the replicas
on each folder, generally when a new folder is created it will inherit the
properties (eg security and replicas) from the root folder. A good tool for
looking at Public folder configuration is Pfdavadmin

Thanks Glen for the response.

So there is not option to set replica at the root which inherit to already
exisitng folder!!!.
I am having lot of folders and it may be hard to do this for indivudal
folders.
