Move mailbox

Trying to use the code below to move a users mailbox but keep getting the
helpfull "Catastrophic error" message on the line
"objMailbox.MoveMailbox(sMDB)". Anyone have a clue what i am doing wrong?

Dim dsUser As New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" & AppSettings("PDC") & "/" &
GetAttribute("DistinguishedName", "Samaccountname", m_samAccountName))

Dim sMDB As String

Try

Dim objMailbox As CDOEXM.IMailboxStore

objMailbox = dsUser.NativeObject

sMDB = "LDAP://" & AppSettings("PDC") & "/" &
getHomeMDBURL(sNewServer)

' sMDB = getHomeMDBURL(sNewServer)

' sMDB = "LDAP://" & getHomeMDBURL(sNewServer)

objMailbox.MoveMailbox(sMDB)

dsUser.CommitChanges()

I installed exchange sp3 (I have the mgmt tools installed on the web server")
and used the cdo not the cdoexm example from this page.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ovemailbox.asp

and it worked at least once.

I ended up doing it with DirectoryServices Invoke and it worked for me:

DirectoryEntry ent = new DirectoryEntry(path);
ent.Invoke("MoveMailbox",new object[]{homeMDB});
ent.CommitChanges();
ent.Close();

That doesnt make any sence to me since it should be doing exactly the same
thing.

Thanks.
