Retrieving User Profile Emails from Sharepoint Shared Services Provider (SSP) for newsletter

Question

I was wondering if there is an easy way for me to retrieve all the users profile for the entire sharepoint farm for me to do a periodic newsletter.

I tried googling quite a bit and it seems that we can retrieve all the sharepoint users of a particular group by the below webservice:

http://share2003/_vti_bin/UserGroup.asmx?WSDL

However, that will be users limited to that particular sharepoint site collection. There might be other users who belong to the Sharepoint Farm, i.e. with a MySite account but not belonging to that particular sharepoint site collection.

Answer 1

Can you use http:///_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx

GetUserProfileByIndex
