Installing Classified Ads

To install the Classified Ads sample application

1. Ensure that Microsoft® IIS version 3.0 or later, Microsoft® Active Server Pages, and Microsoft Outlook Web Access are installed on the same server. To install Web Access, run server setup on the distribution compact disk of Microsoft® Exchange Server, select Custom Install, and select the Active Server Pages option. This installs the CDO Library, the CDO Rendering Library, and Web Access .asp files.
2. Create a folder on the IIS computer — for example, c:\CDOSamples\classad\. Copy all files from the appropriate folder on the distribution compact disk into this folder, keeping the hierarchy of subfolders intact.
3. Using the Internet Service Manager, create a new virtual root indicating that folder, and enable both Read and Execute permissions on it.
4. Select or create the Microsoft Exchange public folder to be used for the Classified Ad. Ensure that any custom folder views and forms created in Microsoft® Visual Basic® have been properly installed.
5. Find the folder identifier of the Classified Ad public folder. To do this, log on with Microsoft® Outlook™ Web Access; move to the public folder and click the Update Page Address icon to update the URL in the browser's Address box. The address will appear like the following:

   http://<server>/exchange/pf/root.asp? obj=000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300746FC765786ED011902900AA00A71AE30000000000120000 
   

6. Carefully copy this folder identifier number and paste it into the root.asp file after the word folderID=, as shown here:

   <FRAME SRC="discroot.asp?folderID=000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300746FC765786ED011902900AA00A71AE30000000069F00000" name="ExchangeDiscussion_fr" marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 >  
   

   There is an another way to obtain the identifier of a folder. If the folder the you are linking to is an immediate subfolder of All Public Folders, you may need to use this Alternative Method.

7. Make the folder visible through the Global Address List. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Open the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program.
   2. Click the folder Org Name\Folders\"Public Folders".
   3. Click the folder you wish to add to the Address Book.
   4. On the File menu, click Properties.
   5. Click the Advance tab.
   6. Clear Hide From Address Book.
