Hi all, Does anyone know of any Zope/Python code to extract Contacts from a MS Exchange server, into some format that I can then import into Zope/CMF Contacts (for which I've already made a product)? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Jon

Connecting to Exchange Servers is a hot open source issue already, but I don't think there's a solution for that yet. As far as I remember from my Exchange admin times, there's the possibility to export data on a scheduled basis (CSV or even LDAP) which you could parse. Best regards, Timo

If your Exchange is backed by ActiveDirectory, you can use the normal LDAP tools/libraries/Python modules to get at the data; you wouldn't necessarily even need to extract & import, since you can get to it directly. Of course, I know nothing about the limitations or needs of CMF, so maybe that isn't possible. Wil -- W.

If you have Outlook installed on a client, then it is not very hard to write a program in for example VB that retrieves the contactlist. That program could then call your code to add a contact using some http library. Have a look at microsofts outlook object model. Douwe
