Only 64 bit compiled script works on Exchange

grimmlock · March 10, 2014

Afternoon everyone,

I have searched over the past several days, and could find an explanation to my question. I have a script that when run is setup to email the data in a form to a group of people using our exchange server. Most of our servers are 64 bit running 64 bit MS OS, with a few that are still 32 bit (being phased out) running older 32 bit MS OS. The 32 bit compiled version of my script works great, on both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of MS OS, with one exception. On our Exchange server, which is running 64 bit OS, I have to compile the script in x64 in order to get the email function to work. My question is why is this? Why does the compiled script work on every server, whether it is running a 64 bit MS OS or a 32 Bit MS OS, except when it is run on our Exchange server. I can provide part of the script if needed.

Thanks in advance.

Grimm

I can provide part of the script if needed.

Yes, that would be helpful. Also, please be sure to indicate which line is failing.

grimmlock · March 10, 2014

One thing I think I forgot to mention, is that I am compiling this script as a 32 bit app so that it works on both the 32 bit MS OS and 64 bit MS OS Servers. So far it works great on both types, except when I run it on the 64 bit Exchange server. What happens is that it completes but the email is never sent/received. Therefore, I do not think that there is a specific line that is failing.

Here is the entire script:

what about disabling redirection, magically fixes most of my x86/x64 issues?

DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "int", 1)

You have a COM error handler implemented in your script but the eror messages are written to the Console. This doesn't work for compiled GUI scripts.

Can you replace ConsoleWrite with FileWriteLine so we can see what happens?

grimmlock · March 10, 2014

Boththose,

Please forgive my ignorance, but where, in the script, would I put the DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "int", 1)?

Water,

I did a splashtexton and got a screenshot of the output, and attached the screenshot.

Thanks.

iamtheky · March 10, 2014

I just slap it at the top, or right before its needed (usually a stack of registry commands). It is my understanding it only does so for the duration of the script (or i suppose the same call with a 0)

search led me to this: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/64-bit_support.htm

i have never used the WinAPI method though, and I predict Water will end up leading a more well-lit path than mine.

edit: lighter does not mean "more well-lit"

It looks like CDO is not installed on the Exchange server. Depending on the server version it is no longer part of the Exchange installation.

Check this.

Danp2 · March 10, 2014

That's what I was thinking, but then he said it worked when compiled as 32-bit program.

I was looking for the writes to the registry and found Some legacy OS and cdo.message troubleshooting. While im not being useful.

grimmlock · March 10, 2014

Update:

Thank you all for your Help. I do not know how or why but apparently I asked this question last year, and the solution was to just compile the script in x64 which will soon work once we move all of our MS Servers from 32 bit to 64 bit. In my earlier post there was a reference (from Water, sorry Water), like in this post, to CDO and Obj.Create. After doing some digging online, I came across this article https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript/P1HWPmBHL8o which referenced this: regsvr32 C:WindowsSysWOW64cdosys.dll. On our 64 bit exchange server I ran this command and now I am able to successfully run the 32 bit compiled script / app.

Thank you to Water, Boththose and Danp2 for all of you help and for your patience with me. :sweating:

Have a great rest of the day!
