SYMPTOMS
When building one of the Exchange SDK samples, the following error may occur:

LNK1181: cannot open input file "ExchSDKd.Lib"



CAUSE
When building samples from the command line, the default is to build debug versions of the samples. However, only the release version of the Exchange SDK library is shipped.



RESOLUTION
There are two ways to resolve the problem:  Build the release version of the sample. You can do this by executing the following command in the sample's directory:

nmake /a nodebug=1

 Build the debug version of the Exchange SDK library.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
