Nood Question

[salmans]

I'm new to exchange 2007 and just installed it in a lab and noticed that when I add a new Active Directory user it doesn't ask me if I want to create an Exchange account for the new account. Also, when I go into a users properties there are no Exchange attributes in there. Was that done away with, so that you must manage all email attributes through Exchange 2007? Thank you !!!!

Do it right the first time, and there won't be a second time!

Yes you had the same reaction to this as I did, the tab is completely gone away with in ADUC I was almost thinking that I must have screwed something up when I saw it missing.

Yes - all done through Exchange 2007 console. You have 2 choices, create the user in AD first and then create a mailbox for exiting user, or create a new mailbox for a new user and create the user and mailbox all at once.

Yes - all done through Exchange 2007 console

or the Exchange Management Shell.

There is no need to create a user first, then mailbox enable them. You can create a new mailbox enabled user right from EMC/EMS. You'd only need to use ADUC to then assign group membership, etc....
