ExFolders for Exchange 2010 Sp1

A few of you emailed me when you noticed an error running ExFolders on Exchange 2010 SP1, which was recently released. Attempting to navigate into a mailbox would throw an error stating, “Error: Method not found.” This was due to some changes in the DLLs that ExFolders relies on.

We’ve just posted a new version of ExFolders that works properly with Sp1. You can find it here.

The RTM version is still available for download as well. Be aware that the RTM version won’t work on Sp1, and the Sp1 version won’t work on RTM, as far as navigating into mailboxes.

    Reggie, on the Details tab of the properties page of ExFolders.exe, what is the build number?

    Hi Michael,

    I don't understand how that is happening on SP3 RU5. In my lab it seems to work. It would take some troubleshooting to figure out what's going on.

    Can you share what the scenario is that you want to solve with the tool? I'm working on replacing ExFolders with a new tool that is easier to support, and I want to make sure the most common scenarios are covered.

    David, what are the exact steps that lead to the error? Are you saying it happens when you right-click and choose Recover Folder? If so, please download the Procdump tool. Launch ExFolders and then run procdump as follows: procdump -e -ma exfolders.exe At that point, reproduce the error, and procdump should generate a dump file. Use the "Email Blog Author" link at the top right of this page to let me know you have the dump file.

    Hi Michael,

    I've just added this functionality to the MAPIFolders tool. Please see: https://mapifolders.codeplex.com/workitem/6 The example syntax I show there exports the ptagFID property, which is what you want.

    Also, be sure to read the requirements: https://mapifolders.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Using%20MAPIFolders

    If you have any problem with it, please post there. Thank you!

    Switchgott, if your Exchange version is showing as 14.00, you are not on Sp1. If you were, it would be 14.01.

    Please make sure you're using the correct version. That error should only occur if you're running the Sp1 build on an RTM server, or the RTM build on an Sp1 server.

    Hein, that is probably due to a bug in ExFolders that I have been trying to fix. I hope to have an updated version soon.

    Hey Doug, I haven't heard of that. Are you sure the stack trace is non-specific? That might show me where it's failing.

    Hein, that issue is fixed in the latest build which is now available at the usual link.

    Running Exchange 2010 SP3 w/ rollup 1. Exfolders gives "Logged on user does not have FullAccess to this mailbox". I've verified that the user I'm logged in as does in fact have full access. I also am able to modify permissions using Powershell as the same user. Any idea?

    hey Bill, I've had this working in the past on E2K10 SP3 using the latest code, however we have recently upgraded our AD to W2K12 R2. Have you heard of people having issues at that level? Popup error we receive is 'ExFolders could not be initialized. Exception: There is no such object on the server' and then some non-specific stack trace info. any ideas? account being used has full perms. thanks! Doug
