I am currently waiting on someone else in my team to finish installing MPS and Exchange, but I need to start developing for it as soon as I can.  Does anyone know where I can get the wsdls for these APIs?

• the Exchange Provider API (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd278648.aspx)
• and/or the Active Directory API (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd252243.aspx).

Thanks

I am exactly in the same situation. However I think the answer should be around here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd278969.aspx

Mi conclusion so far is that the APIs you have been reading are about how you should structure the XML request that you send to the MPS server. Once a sample of that XML request has been written and tested you need to write a C# program that uses the MPS .NET Client Wrapper (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd278969.aspx) in order to send programmatically the text of the sample XML request. The closest sample piece of code I have found to an example of this approach is this one:

Right now I'm trying this approach myself and I let you know if this actually works. If anybody else out there can help us to get to the right answer, I'll be so grateful.

Kind regards. 

Greetings.

The approach I previously talked about worked. I suggest you write your own program to deal with the MPS server and then build your own webservice.

My piece of code is:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Provisioning.Client;
using System.Xml;

namespace MPSClient
{
    public class MPSInvoker
    {
        public MPSInvoker()
        { 
        
        }

        public XmlDocument doSomething()
        {
            Microsoft.Provisioning.Client.Wrapper.Request wrappme = new Microsoft.Provisioning.Client.Wrapper.Request();
 
            XmlDocument xmlrequest = new XmlDocument();
            xmlrequest = wrappme.BuildBaseRequest("Active Directory Provider", "Create Object");

            String XMLString =    "<request xmlns:xsl=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform\">" +
                                  "<procedure>" +
                                  "  <execute namespace=\"Active Directory Provider\" procedure=\"Create Object\" impersonate=\"1\">" +
                                  "    <executeData>" +
                                  "      <container>LDAP://AD01.concorde.com/CN=Users,DC=concorde,DC=com</container>" +
                                  "      <class>user</class>" +
                                  "      <name>CN=apoloduvalis</name>" +
                                  "      <properties>" +
                                  "        <property mode=\"update\" name=\"displayName\">apoloduvalis</property>" +
                                  "        <property mode=\"update\" name=\"givenName\">Apolo</property>" +
                                  "        <property mode=\"update\" name=\"sn\">Duvalis</property>" +
                                  "        <property mode=\"update\" name=\"sAMAccountName\">apoloduvalis</property>" +
                                  "      </properties>" +
                                  "    </executeData>" +
                                  "    <after source=\"executeData\" destination=\"data\" mode=\"insert\" />" +
                                  "  </execute>" +
                                  "</procedure>" +
                                "</request>";

            xmlrequest.LoadXml(XMLString);
            
            XmlDocument answer = wrappme.SubmitRequest(xmlrequest, true);
            return answer;
        }
       
    }
}

In order to get the Microsoft.Provisioning.Client library, you need to install the MPS SDK and in your Visual Studio project to add a reference to the .NET library C:\Program Files\Microsoft Hosting\Development\References\MPFClientWrapper.dll 

I hope this help.

I've been able to get the webservices working (we've since gotten everything installed), but I am having a really hard time finding any documentation on the format of the "container" or "ldap path" that most/all of the Active Directory functions require.  I"ll probably post another question in a different post (http://forums.asp.net/t/1494557.aspx).  Thanks for the help!
