Linking Exchange Server 2003 to SQL Server 2000

Hi
The following commands in Query Analyzer:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'exchange',
'Exchange OLE DB provider',
'exoledb.DataSource.1',
'file:\\.\backofficestorage\localhost\public folders'
Go
SELECT Convert(nvarchar(30), "urn:schemas:contacts:sn") LastName
FROM OpenQuery(Exchange, 'SELECT "urn:schemas:contacts:sn"
FROM ".\Public Folders\Company Contacts"')
produce the following results:
Server: Msg 7304, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not create a new session on OLE DB provider 'exoledb.DataSource.1'.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'exoledb.DataSource.1'
IDBCreateSession::CreateSession returned 0x80150804].
I am trying to access contacts in public folders.
Can anyone help with this?
Is this the best way to read/modify these records?
What about using this to check/modify tasks and emails?
When I browse the folder structure in the Exchange System Manager the
following shows:
Folders -> Public Folders -> Public Folders -> Company Contacts
When I go to the properties of the "Company Contacts" folder in Exchange
System Manager I get:
/Public Folders/Company Contacts/
When I look at the same structure in Outlook I see the breakdown as:
Public Folders -> All Public Folders -> Public Folders -> Company
Contacts
Thanks
Roger
