I need to write something that runs on a server and updates various user
folders - mail, contacts, tasks, appointments.
I know how to do this running against a client Outlook, but I don't know how
to approach this for server development.
As I understand it, there are two choices.
1. Write something to run as a service. This won't work with Outlook but if
the computer gets rebooted the service will start again automatically (if it
is set to do so). I guess I would have to use CDO - is this correct? Can I
update the above items in CDO?
2. Write a program to run with Outlook under Task Scheduler. However will
the task run correctly if no one is logged on to the server? Will it survive
a reboot?
Any suggestions or similar experiences welcome!
