SYMPTOMS
When using the Exchange OLE DB Provider (ExOLEDB) to create an ADO connection to a remote Exchange Server, you may encounter errors if you attempt to access or create objects on that server.



CAUSE
ExOLEDB, installed by Exchange 2000 Server setup, is a server-side provider only. ExOLEDB can only be used to access or create items on the local Exchange Server.



RESOLUTION
Client-side applications can access or create items on a remote Exchange 2000 Server by using either MAPI, CDO 1.x, WebDAV (XMLHTTP) or ADO with the Microsoft Internet Publishing Provider (MSDAIPP).



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
