We have a VS2005 native C++ application which connects to Exchange
server using CDOEX and CDOEXM to create and modify calendar entries
for multiple user folders. It's a command line utility which must be installed on the same server where the exchange server is installed. What is the correct procedure to use this
utility in a clustered environment? Any help would be appreciated.
Might I suggest you take a look at.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373130%28VS.85%29.aspx
for general information on how failover clustering works.
But I would also like to point out that going forward ( ie exchange 2007 , 2010) you don't get CDOEXM. And Instead you will have to find some way of integrating with powershell instead. There are classes to explicitly run powershell scripting from inside a program, but they are C# so you either migrate all your code to C# or use some bastardized blend of IJW.

I'm building an app that automatically labels Office files on Windows computers. To apply my sensitivity labels to documents programmatically, Microsoft tells me to use its MIP SDK.
But the SDK is in C++, with some convoluted async Observer patterns, so it's not clear to me how to call its functions from Python.
Has anyone succeeded in using the MIP SDK with Python 3? Can you share a concrete Python example of calling the SetLabel() function on a file?
I have spent sometime looking into this problem. Microsoft doesn't make it clear on how to call their MIP C++ code using Python. It's also unclear for me if you're trying to set sensitivity labels on local Office files or ones stored in SharePoint or in Office 365.
I previously mentioned using Python Bindings, but after doing some research there are other ways.
Technique One
Microsoft has a PowerShell framework called Security & Compliance Center PowerShell. One the cmdlet is Set-Label, which can be used to enable sensitivity labels for Office files. There is another module called Set-LabelPolicy that can assist in setting global sensitivity
policies.
PowerShell cmdlet can be called from Python. There are lots of examples on Stack Overflow on how to accomplish this.
Technique Two
Again Microsoft really requires you to dig for information to use Python over their prefer coding languages.
Microsoft has a GitHub project called AutoRest Python. This project generates Python code that is needed to interact with Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) and other Microsoft centric products.
The other GitHub project that is needed is msrest for python.
If you dig through some of Microsoft GitHub repositories you will find examples on how to use these modules.
Technique Three
You can also use Python to set registry settings related to sensitivity labels for Office files. If needed I can provide you the registry keys.
I'm writting a tic-tac-toe game in c++ and I want to create a hight scores view. The problem is I'm new to DB and now just theory of SQL.
So, how can I add a simple SQL table to my c++ project?
(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, hightScore INTEGER)
Looks like just adding to project SQL script file and creating this table not gonna work. How to connect it with my cpp files? Where and how I'll be able to make an INSERT after each new game was played?
Thanks in advance!
To have a simple table you'll need to have a database to set the table up within. The library you will use to communicate with the database is going to depend on which database you are running.
Setting up the needed libraries usually means installing them and updating your linker. This will require some research and effort on your part to make it work, depending on what your particular configuration is.
some ideas:
(for mysql there is mysql/mysql.h which is a free library. )
How to make #include <mysql.h> work?
(for other SQL databases (not free))
http://www.sqlapi.com/
(possible free alternative to sqlapi )
Free alternative to SQLAPI++?
Hopefully that will get you started in the right direction! Good luck.
I have researched about c++ database connectivity and i could find following ways to connect to SQL server database from c++ project.
Using Microsoft's ODBC connection method. Which is a little bit complicate method and requires thorough research to use further.
Ref: https://www.techhowtos.com/programming/how-to-connect-to-sql-server-from-visual-c-plus-plus/
Using SQLAP++ Library which is very convenient way to connect to a databse . It Requires to purchase one time license to use commercially.
Using CPPCMS project's CppDB library.
I'm using QT 5 with MingW 4.7 and i'm trying to start a program with an embedded mysql server.
My current program uses a mysql server, but the server has to be manually started (so out of the program). This isn't user friendly of-course.
I did some research and I need to use the libmysqld library . But I don't know how.
Can anyone give me an example how to use this?
You can use an embedded mysql server within Qt. There are no that many difficulties with that at all. If you could point any you faced I can help you with that, indeed you should link your application with libmysqld and then just start a mysql process within your application (there are plenty documentation available about that). But as was pointed in comments - are you sure you want to do that. There are many nicer embedded solutions available like SQLLite (included in Qt)...
Documentation and examples
You probably will need to have a look on mysql driver supplied with Qt and may be fork it for embedded version, but that needs a bit closer look. But again I don't see really issues with that
Right now I am writing a little c++ console program using VS2010 Express. The next thing I want to do is to access a SQL database from within this program.
I've downloaded SQL server 2008 express. I've managed to set up a little db using the db gui.
My question now is, how do I access this db from within my program. Which header files do I need, how do I connect? About the basic tempering with the db itself I have found many tutorials, but this tiny bit that closes the gap between a program and the connection to the db drives me nuts... If any one has a nice tip to a tutorial or book, please let me know.
I've also tried to start a new project in VS, and was hoping to find some kind of setup wizard for a "sql project" that would get me one the way but did not find such a wiz...
Microsoft doesn't provide much for SQL connectivity from C++ console applications. There are a number of libraries such as SOCI and DTL that can help though.
I'm building an MFC app in Visual Studio 2008 which classifies textures and I need some sort of lightweight database to hold the characteristics (just some doubles and strings) which can be:
Carried around with the app on different computers
Be able to perform queries on it from the app (searches , updates ,inserts ,etc)
Currently I'm looking into SQL Server Compact Edition because it was very easy to create from Visual Studio (I also need only one table). But I;m having a hard time connecting and updating the database from C++.
This is what I've found on MSDN regarding C++ and SQLCE:
public:
void createSqlCeConnection(){
SqlCeConnection* myConnection = new SqlCeConnection();
myConnection->ConnectionString = "DataSource = blabla.sdf";
MessageBox::Show(String::Format( S"Connection State: {0}", __box(myConnection->State)));
}
Unfortunately my experience with .NET apps is pretty limited.
Hopefully you bright minds could tell me if I'm on the right path and what links and includes should I add for this to work with an C++ MFC projects.
For C++ applications, you're going to want to use the OLE DB Provider for SQL CE. For example, take a look here for a code snippet on initializing a Session (you might have to explicitly click the C++ tab in the Examples section).
