2.11.1.5 PtypObject and PtypEmbeddedTable Types

  • Article

Message store and address book servers treat these property type somewhat differently, but in both cases these property types represents a complex structure. Access to these properties requires the server to construct an object, and the client to issue requests similar to those used for top-level objects.

  • Message store servers do not allow access to properties of type PtypObject through the RopGetPropertiesSpecific ROP ([MS-OXCROPS] section 2.2.8.3) or the RopGetPropertiesAll ROP ([MS-OXCROPS] section 2.2.8.4). Instead, properties of this type MUST be accessed with the RopOpenStream ([MS-OXCROPS] section 2.2.9.1) or RopOpenEmbeddedMessage ([MS-OXCROPS] section 2.2.6.16) ROP requests.

  • Address book servers use the PtypEmbeddedTable type to designate properties whose value is a table, for example, the members of a distribution list. The necessary methods are specified in [MS-NSPI].
