Rich,

If there is a workstation with an outlook client that has ever connected to
the exchange server, you can get the values from the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Exchange DS\13dbb0c8aa05101a9bb000aa002fc45a
(First number)
