SafeDistList member has no FreeBusy

Klemens · External Since: Jun 21, 2007 Posts: 6

I want to get the FreeBusy info for the members of a private
distribution list in my contact folder. When I do it via Outlook OM
directly the second line below
Set oRecp = oDistList.GetMember(i)
strFreeBusy = oRecp.FreeBusy(dtmStart, 30, True)
receives an error ("Cannot load free/busy information").
Using Redemption the second line
Set oSafeRecp = oSafeDistList.GetMember(i)
strFreeBusy = oSafeRecp.FreeBusy(dtmStart, 30, True)
returns w/o error but doesn't return any freebusy info.
Using RDO:
Set oRDORecp = oRDODistListItem.GetMember(i)
strFreeBusy = oRDORecp.GetFreeBusy(dtmStart, 30, True)
works fine (luckily).

Why does the Redemption variant not work? Bug? Feature? Workaround?

Do you mean why doesn't it raise the error the way Outlook does?

Hello Dmitry,
No, I hoped it would just work with redemption. It works with a
recipient which is created from scratch and the address entry of this
recipient looks pretty much the same as the address entry of the
recipient in the distribution list. So there should be a chance to get
free/busy info for this recipient too.

Well, if Outlook reports "Cannot load free/busy information", there is
probably a reason for that...
What exactly do you mean by "pretty much the ssame"? It is either the same
or it is not...

"Pretty much" means that the recipients I receive from the GetMember
are not equivalent structural-wise so I only can try guessing. What I
see is that the RDORecipient and the SafeRecipient refer to the same
entry ID and both refer to an "EX" address whereas the native Outlook
recipient refers to a different Entry ID and to an address type
"SMTP". This makes me think that there would be a chance for the
SafeRecipient to support the FreeBusy when the RDORecipient does.

Klemens

So Outlook returns an SMTP address for that DL member, but Redemption
returns EX (which is correct, right)?
Do you see the f/b for that user from the Outlook UI?
