exchange, com and php

[[BuKoX]]

Hello.
I have a problem with access to Outlook (with Exchange Server) through
com in php. I have SBS2003, IIS 6.0 and PHP 4.3.4. The script with only:

$outlook = new COM("Outlook.Ap plication");
echo $outlook->version();

is executing 30 seconds and stops. There's no error's but instrance of
Outlook starts as IUSER. I put privaledges to Public Folder (in Exchange
Server) and even I create Mail Account for IUSER but it nothing changes.
I think the problem is with privaledges becouse word and other MS Office
applications works thourgh com. Is there anything else what shoud I do?

regards

BuKoX

Give the IIS service access to the desktop and see what happens. My guess is
that Outlook had hit an error and was waiting for you to press Retry/Cancel.

A gave IUSER acess to Dekstop in "All Users" and "Default User" but
nothing is changed. Is there any place where do I find any errors about it?

You can always look in the event Log (Right-click on `My computer' ->
`Manage' -> `Event Viewer', then look in each one of the logs to see if
there's any hint about the problem).

And what the previous writer meant was, I think, giving the _service_
access to the desktop. When you're still in the management console
opened by [My Computer/Manage], go to `Services and Applications', then
`Services', and look up IIS server in the list. Open the service
properties and on the `Log On' tab check `Allow service to interact with
desktop'.

You may have to restart the service for this change to take effect.

Good luck debugging!
