Add SMTP address to proxyAddresses in AD

Hi LDAP list,

I seem to be having a problem adding SMTP addresses to the
proxyAddresses attribute. We are using Windows 2003 domain controllers
and have a Windows 2003 server running Exchange 2003 as our mail server.

Below is function I have written for adding and SMTP address to an AD
account.

sub enterNewEmail {
my $ldapConn =3D shift;
my $entry =3D shift;
my $newEmail =3D shift;

if ($entry and $newEmail) {
my $message =3D $ldapConn->modify($entry->dn(), add =3D> {
'proxyAddresses' =3D> "smtp:" . $newEmail });
if ($message->code =3D=3D 0) {
return 1;
} else {
print "Error adding email address $newEmail: " .
$message->error() . "\n";
return undef;
}
} else {
return undef;
}
}

The odd thing is that this function never returns errors (it always
returns 1). But when I look in AD at my test account, the email address
wasn't added to the proxyAddresses attribute. Any ideas why this
doesn't work?

You might be better off asking on an AD-specific list, since AD is not
/really/ an LDAP server.

Cheers,

Understood. I did figure out a different way to do it.

Rather than try to use ADD to append to the list, I just dumped the
proxyAddresses list into an array, added my new email address to the
array, then pushed the entire array back into the proxyAddresses
property using REPLACE. That worked for some reason.
