Hi,

The test environment:

Parent domain: parent.domain.

Child domain: child.parent.domain

SMTP domain: smtp.domain

SIP domain: sip.domain

Test PC join the "child.parent.domain" and login with "child\test1", this account's email address is "test1@sip.domain", outlook in this PC works fine, but EWS raise a exception about getting user settings.

EWS auto-discover code:

AutoDiscoverExchangeWebServices

{

...

_ExchangeService = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);
_ExchangeService.TraceEnabled = true;

_ExchangeService.Credentials = new WebCredentials(test1, password, child.parent.domain);

_ExchangeService.AutodiscoverUrl("test1@sip.domain", AutoDiscoverValidationCallback);

...

}

This looks like some error in server configuration. How is exception raised? Where to check the configurations?

Thanks very much.

What looks to happening is the SCP lookup in your domain is failing from the looks of it there is a record but no data which is an unexpected outcome (eg generally there will be something or nothing). You might want to have a read of http://johanveldhuis.nl/?page_id=1683&lang=en which goes through how to check to make sure your SCP records are setup in your forest and what you might need to do if you have multiple forests etc.

If you have no control over this and just want to make your code work then i would suggest you make use of the Autodiscover classes and you can just disable the SCP lookup meaning that only a DNS discover will be done eg

         AutodiscoverService adAutoDiscoverSvc = new AutodiscoverService();
         adAutoDiscoverSvc.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user@domain.com", "password");
         adAutoDiscoverSvc.EnableScpLookup = false;
         adAutoDiscoverSvc.RedirectionUrlValidationCallback = adAutoDiscoCallBack;
         GetUserSettingsResponse adResponse = adAutoDiscoverSvc.GetUserSettings("User@domain.com", (new UserSettingName[1] { UserSettingName.AlternateMailboxes }));

        private static bool adAutoDiscoCallBack(string url)
        {
            return true;
        }

Hello,

We are using similar code described in the problem statement. In one of our environment autodiscoverurl is throwing the same exception(Index was out of range.).

As per suggestion by Glen, we used the AutodiscoverService to suppress the SCP lookup. But at GetUserSettings function call, it is throwing an exception. Can anyone suggest what could be the issue.

Is there any other way to find out the URL(like from Active Directory. If yes please point me in to the right direction) for specified email address.

What things need to verify and resolve in the Exchange environment to resolve the issue(Exception thrown by AutodiscoverUrl Index out of range which reported in original question).

 

Note: There is environment which works with  exchangewebservice. AutodiscoverUrl(original code without AutodiscoverService). But even in that environment AutodiscoverService. GetUserSettings throws an exception.

Exception thrown by autodiscoverService.GetUserSettings(emailid,UserSettingName.ExternalEwsUrl):

   at Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Autodiscover.AutodiscoverService.GetSetting

s[TGetSettingsResponseCollection,TSettingName](List`1 identities, List`1 setting

s, Func`4 getSettingsMethod, Func`1 getDomainMethod)

   at Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Autodiscover.AutodiscoverService.GetUserSet

tings(List`1 smtpAddresses, List`1 settings)

   at Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Autodiscover.AutodiscoverService.GetUserSet

tings(String userSmtpAddress, UserSettingName[] userSettingNames)

Thanks,

Sandeep

The Managed API is now open source https://github.com/OfficeDev/ews-managed-api so fork of your own Repo and then debug issue to see if you can find the bug in the code and implement your own fix or workaround. If its a fix consider submitting it for inclusion in the master repo
