If you don't specify any mailbox database, then system will select database randomly. Remigiusz ExchangeBlog

Hi Above is correct, As you can see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123809(v=exchg.141).aspx Specify the mailbox database rather than using a database automatically selected That means it will select a database automatically Cheers Zi Feng TechNet Community Support

Hi I could not find any official article talking about mechanism of selecting. I did a test it will select the oldest mailbox database according to the creation time Hope it will help Cheers Zi Feng TechNet Community Support

I was under the impression that the randomness is also a mechanism of load balancing. So, if you have two DBs, one with 10 users and another with 20 & if you create a mailbox without a DB name, it will select one with the least number of users?Rajith Enchiparambil | http://www.howexchangeworks.com |

Adaxes can be configured to automatically create mailboxes in the database with the least number of mailboxes.
