List delegates of the Outlook Mailbox using CDO 1.2.1 via VBScript

I have recently worked out a VBScript to list delegate of the Outlook Mailbox using CDO 1.2.1 via VBScript and thought of share it with you all, here is the sample code:

 Dim objSession 
 Dim strProfileInfo 
 Dim strServer 
 Dim strMailbox 
 Dim objFolder
 Dim objMessages
 Dim objMessage
 Dim oFields
 Dim oField1
 Dim oField2
 Dim oFBFolder
  
 'TODO:Change Server and Mailbox info
 strServer="Server"
 strMailbox="User"
  
 strProfileInfo = strServer & vbLf & strMailbox
  
 Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
 objSession.Logon , , False, False, , True, strProfileInfo
  
 writelog( "Mailbox")
         
     writelog( "  ==> ")
     writelog( objSession.CurrentUser)
     writelog( vbCrLf)
 Msgbox "Logged On!!!"
  
 ' Reference the root folder by passing ID of ""
 Set oRoot = objSession.GetFolder("")
  
 'Connect to the Freebusy folder
 Set oFBFolder = oRoot.Folders.Item("Freebusy Data")
     Set objMessages = oFBFolder.Messages
  
     For Each objMessage In objMessages
  
         If objMessage.subject = "LocalFreebusy" Then
             'Get the message fields
  
             Set oFields = objMessage.Fields
             
             On Error Resume Next
  
     For i = 0 to UBound(oFields.Item(&H6844101E).Value(0))
   
                 Set oField1 = oFields.Item(&H6844101E)  ' PR_SCHDINFO_DELEGATE_NAMES
                        writelog "DELEGATE NAMES  ==> " & oField1.Value(0)(i)
                     writelog( vbCrLf)
  
                           Set oField2 = oFields.Item(&H686B1003) ' PR_DELEGATE_FLAGS
               writelog "Delegate can see private  ==> " & oField2.Value(0)(i)
                           writelog( vbCrLf)
        Next
     End iF
 Next
  
 objSession.Logoff
  
 Set objSession =Nothing
  
 Set oField1 = Nothing
 Set oField2 = Nothing
 Set oFBFolder = Nothing
 Set oRoot = Nothing
  
 Msgbox "Done!!!"
  
 Sub WriteLog(ByVal strMessage)
     Dim fs
     Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
     Dim file
     Dim sScriptPath
     sScriptPath = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, InstrRev(WScript.ScriptFullName, "\"))
     Set file = fs.opentextfile(sScriptPath & "DelegateListLog.txt", 8, True)
     file.Write strMessage
     file.Close
 End Sub

Please refer to the following MAPI properties used in the above sample to list delegates of the mailbox:

-
PidTagScheduleInfoDelegateNames Canonical Property
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc839497.aspx

Contains the names of the delegates.  
  
  
Associated properties: PR\_SCHDINFO\_DELEGATE\_NAMES, PR\_SCHDINFO\_DELEGATE\_NAMES\_A, PR\_SCHDINFO\_DELEGATE\_NAMES\_W  
  
  
Identifier: 0x6844

If you interested in exploring further details regarding how delegate settings works in Outlook then refer to:

However, if you just targeting Exchange Server 2007, I would highly recommend you to use EWS(Exchange Web Services)
