We currently have a consultant working for us whose AD user account is mail
enabled. All email is forwarded to his personal email address. We now want
him to have a mailbox on the Exchange server, but I don't know how to
transition his account from mail enabled to mailbox enabled. I could remove
the exchange attributes and start over, but I get a dire warning when I start
to go down that road. I've tried adding a new smtp address for him and
making it the primary, but that doesn't create a corresponding mailbox on the
server. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance ~ Jim

Since this is a mail-enabled user, delete his email address from his
existing account ( right-click Exchange Tasks, delete Email
Addresses), then create a mailbox for this account using the same
procedure, this time selecting "Create Mailbox". If you need to
continue to forward mail, then you will need to create a mail-enabled
contact and forward to it under the accounts properties in ADUC.
