Mailbox Enabling a New User Account in Exchange Server
2003
Here is a step by step guide to
creating a new user and mailbox enabling that user in Exchange Server 2003.
1. If you are creating a brand new
user account, you can mailbox enable the user as you are creating it. STBC has
hired a new salesperson named Ray Moray. Add his account to Active Directory by
right clicking Sales and selecting New User.
2. Create the user account as you
see in the picture below. The User logon name we’re using is rmoray (first
initial, last name). Click Next to continue.
3. Enter in a password that meets
the default domain password complexity requirements and de-select the User must
change password at next logon box. Click Next to continue.
4. Since Ray Moray will be working
onsite and you want him to have an email address you should leave the box
checked for Create an Exchange mailbox. Click Next to continue.
5. Verify that all of the account
information for Ray is correct and click Finish to create his account.
6. After a short wait (you will need
to refresh the screen) you will see the email Address and Exchange Alias for
Ray Moray’s user account.
7. Add Ray to the Sales group by
right clicking Ray Moray and selecting Add to a group. Enter Sales as the
object name and click OK.
