Subject: creating Exchange mailBox via Ruby?

Howdy!

I am setting up services that automagically provision a new portal user
with things like filespace, and an Exchange mailbox.  The filespace is
easy, but I have not found any way to do the Exchange part.  I have
many vbscript examples, but that does not help me any if ruby cannot do
what vbs can.  So the question is:

Can Ruby interact with Exchange Information Stores, by creating
mailboxes, changing mailbox properties and the like?

The vbs examples look like they use LDAP to connect and interact, but
the methods that are used seem to be specific to vbs.  Any one with any
experience with this?

PS.  I know that I can use vbs, but our setup would require the scripts
to be run on a DC, and I would like to avoid that type of dependance.
