Setting Up the Autodiscover Sample Application

The Autodiscover sample application source code, which is included in the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP2 Web Services Software Development Kit (SDK), is installed by default in the directory in which the Exchange Server 2007 SDK is installed, in the \Samples\Autodiscover\ folder. Before you use the Autodiscover sample application, you must first build the AutodiscoverSample.exe file on a computer running Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.The Autodiscover service must also be deployed and configured before the Autodiscover sample application can retrieve Autodiscover data.

Note:
This sample application is intended for instructional purposes only and is not meant to be installed in a production environment.
