Using WSH get the logged on user's name, bind to the
object in AD using LDAP or WinNt provider

Here's an example if the object you're connecting to is
called objUser
All one line''''''''
ExchangeServer = mid(ucase(objUser.Get
("msExchHomeServerName")),instr(1,ucase(oUser.Get
("msExchHomeServerName")),"SERVERS/CN=",vbTextCompare)+ len
("SERVERS/CN="))

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
now you have the user's exchange server name
as far as checking the entry - I don't know what entry -
INI file, registry entry?

Read WSH documentation to find out how to do that.
Hope this helps!
