How To Generate a Value for PR_MTS_ID

MORE INFORMATION

1. Make sure to include these files:

         #include <windows.h>
         #include <string.h>
         #include <stdio.h>
         #include <winbase.h>

2. Copy the following code entirely and past it into the file window.

         /* Generate an MTS-ID value for tracking inbound messages,
            and to correctly route Non-Delivery Reports. */ 
   
         #define MAX_LENGTH_MTS_ID 255
   
         void main( )

         /* Character buffer for munching on the X400 ID. */ 
         CHAR    buf1[MAX_LENGTH_MTS_ID];

           DWORD   dwCompNameBufferSize = MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH;

           GetSystemTime( &sysTime );

            For example, the gateway administrator's X400 proxy. */ 
           lpszX400Adr = "c=US;a= ;p=FooSite;s=TomBoy;";
   
         /* Set the first character in the buffer to NULL */ 
           buf1[0] = '\0';
   
         /* Find the first semicolon in the X400 Address.
            The semicolon is the element separator in the address type. */ 
           p = strtok(lpszX400Adr, ";")
   
         /* As long as there is an element at p, check to see if the
            character is 'c' or 'a' or 'p', AND the next character is an
            '='. If so, we have an element of the X400 address. */ 
           while (p)
           {
               if (('c'== *p || 'a'== *p || 'p' == *p) && '=' == *(p+1))
               {
                 /* Put it in the buffer, and add a semicolon. */ 
                 strcat(buf1, p);
                 strcat(buf1, ";");
               }
               /* Find the next element in the X400 address. */ 
               p = strtok(NULL, ";");
           }
   
           /* The next component of the PR_MTS_ID value is the name of the

              always works. For more information on GetComputerName, look
              under "Setup and Systems Management Services" in the
              Platform SDK. */ 
   
           GetComputerName(szComputerName, &dwCompNameBufferSize);
   
           /* GetComputerName does not null-terminate the returned string,
              so we do it. */ 
           szComputerName[MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH] = '\0';
   
   
           /* Copy the whole mess into a string. */ 
           sprintf(lpszMTSID,
             "%sl=%s%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%04d", buf1, szComputerName,
             sysTime.wYear % 100, sysTime.wMonth, sysTime.wDay, sysTime.wHour,
             sysTime.wMinute, sysTime.wSecond, sysTime.wMilliseconds);
   
           /* Tell the world. */ 
           printf("The MTS_ID value is %s\n", lpszMTSID);
           return;
         }
   						

3. Set a breakpoint at the return statement.
4. Compile and run the program.
5. Switch to the console window where the MTS-ID generated by this program should appear.
