Name

Notes

A number of properties are always synthesized by exchange_nsp and never read from any storage; this includes key properties such as PR_ENTRYID, PR_RECORD_KEY, etc. The following properties need mentioning:

PR_DEPARTMENT: This property is synthesized from the department that a user has been assigned to (cf. SQL table "users", column "group_id", and SQL table "group", column "title").

For user-attached properties that are read from SQL (cf. table "user_properties"), exchange_nsp (as well as zcore(8gx)'s AB) only handles a subset of property types: PT_BOOLEAN, PT_SHORT, PT_LONG, PT_I8, PT_SYSTIME, PT_BINARY, PT_UNICODE/STRING8 and PT_MV_UNICODE/STRING8.
