Re: Exchange Mailbox Creation Problem

Costas,

Thanks- that might resole the deletion problem.

As far as creation, it was when I was doing the inital login of the new user
and trying to connect Outlook that I became aware of the issue, since Outlook
said that there was no mailbox that matched the user.

It could be an 'order of operation' issue as well- this particular PC was
already in use, and the new user was not set up locally before trying to run
the setup for new user program, possibly causing it to fail before creating
the mailbox. Is there a way to re-trigger this, or should I just try deleting
the user from the server and re-creating, the log on the local PC as admin,
give the new domain user local rights, and log in as the new user on that box?

Dennis,

After you create a new user account, ask the user to logon and at that time
the mailbox will be created. As far as how long a deleted mailbox stays on
the server has to do with the 'Deletion settings' on the mailbox store. The
default is 30 days. Right click on the Mailbox store, select Properties and
click on the 'Limits' tab. The setting is towards the bottom of the window.

Hope that helps

When adding a user, the Add New User Wizard adds the user, but does not
create an Exchange Mailbox, or create the default email address.

Additionally, when deleting a user, the Exchange mailbox remains on the
server. (User is deleted, and the Exchange Manager shows the ex-User's
GUID
for the Last Logon info.)

During the Addition and Deletion Wizards, I didn't get any notification
about generating or deleting the Exchange mailboxes.

How did this get disconnected, and how can it be fixed?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
