Problem with Mailbox Creation

[ado007]

Dear All

My Set up:- 1 AD Domain Controller
1 Exchange Server (Also a AD Domain Controller)

I'm having some worried problems. I found that when I create a new user & it ask me to create a mailbox it looks like its working. But when you go & look for the mailbox in the Mailbox Store section of Exchange Manager its not there. At first I thought it might be a replication problem, but have left it overnight & its still not there. Can any one please help me!!!!

Thanks

When I send an e mail to the account it gets delayed. Here the message I get:-

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

TMB2@xxxxxxxxx.org

Also when I come to open it, it says that the information store couldn't be opened.

Also I have had a look at the setting of the user & found that the Mailbox Rights on the Exchange Advanced only have the SELF group add. But the rest of the mailboxs have a load of other Users & Groups in the list.

Anymore ideas?

Thanks

SELF : full mailbox access is default and is okay

can you logon with that user and open up the mailbox? eg outlook or owa?

 

[ado007]

I can log on as the user but cant open up the mailbox. Its say 'Unable to open your default e-mail folder'. Now that would tell me that the user didn't have access to the mailbox.

Anymore ideas?

Thanks

I have a client with the same setup and have had the same problem. I have found that if I restart only the Domain Server, it takes care of the problem. Once I have restarted the Exchange 2000 Server alone, the probem comes back.

I hope this helps.

i suspect RUS not working correctly or not working at all.

maybe look in that direction..
