Hello everyone, I am kinda new to AD and Exchange server management. Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory was recently added. Currently running Exchange Server 2007 SP1. When creating a user account from 2008 R2 AD, creating user mailbox option no longer available. Is this a default behavior and can I add the feature? It was available when we had Windows Server 2003 R2 AD environment. Thank you.

Hi It is not possible to manage Exchange 2007 & 2010 from AD Users and Computers. You need to perform the mailbox management from the Exchange console or shell - you can create users there too. Cheers, Steve

BTW - SP1 not supported go to SP3 RU6.Sukh
