    We have an AD forrest and domain operating on 2008 func. level. We also have an exchange 2007 mail environment (not integrated in AD). Usually adding users is a straight forward process. We use batch files to create users with dsadd. For one of these users we will have to create a mailbox in exchange 2007. Normally after making the AD user, I go to EMC and recipient conf... -> mailbox - new mailbox. I choose existing user and add, however i am not able to locate this user anywhere in the forrest from EMC. The user is verified ok in ADUC. Any ideas?

    Exchange 2007 and 2010 don't have anything integrated into ADUC. You have to use EMC or EMS.

    Use ADSI edit and compare the user account you want to add a mailbox to and another account that you know work.
    My guess is that some attribute is incorrect.

    Is this user perhaps already mail enabled or mailbox enabled?
    Search for the user under Recipient Conf.. there you will see all types of recipient instead of just mailboxes. You can also use Get-Recipient cmdlet.

    Exchange 2007 cannot run without being integrated in AD or is your Exchange environment in different domain than your user accounts?

    Can't find the user under Recipient Conf...

    I was a bit unclear in my question, of course the exchange implementation is integrated with AD, but not in such a way that we have the exchange features installed and accessible from ADUC. We have to use EMC for anything mail related.

    Also if the account is disabled you cannot see the particular account in EMC to mail enable. make sure user is active.

    Hi
       Do you install other version of exchange (exchange 2003/2010) on your forest?
       Check these uses' properties:
           msExchRecipientDisplayType =
           msExchRecipientTypeDetails =
           msExchUserAccountControl =
      These three attributes are Exchange 2007 extension properties. They should be set to "NULL" for a 'pure' AD user account

    Hi, thanks for the answers.

     

    No, only exch. 2k7 in our forrest

    All msExch attrib's r 'not set'

    User enabled


    only difference is used dsadd to create user instead of manually i ADUC

    cmd is: FOR /F "delims=, tokens=1,2,3,4,5" %%A in (userlist.txt) do dsadd user "CN=%%A %%B,OU=Temp,OU=Accounts,OU=Users,OU=Norway,DC=something,DC=something,DC=com" -samid %%C -fn %%B -ln %%A -display "%%A %%B" -empid %%E -pwd %%D  -mustchpwd yes -HMDRV M: -HMDIR \\filesrvnor\users$\%%C

    In Exchange Management Shell, can you try this:

    Get-User Domain\SamAccountName | Enable-Mailbox

    Where Domain is Active Directory Domain.
