Using shell to add mailbox for existing user.

[joejack0330]

We just upgraded from 2003 to 2010 and looking for correct syntax to create a mailbox for an existing domain user who does not have any mailbox created yet. We have another issue with management console so trying to do it quick through shell. I tried various options but can't get it.

Domain User Name: John Smith
OU: CommonUsers
Internal Domain: gntrad.local
External Domain: general-trading.com
Email: JSmith@general-trading.com
Exchange Server Name: Exchange2010

Thanks, Joe

Assuming only one database called "Mailbox Database":
