Hi All,

For testing purpose i created 1000 of users in Active Directory Users and computers by scrypts.(script given below) In 2003 by right clicking and selecting Exchange Tasks i can able to create mailboxes for all the users in a single shot.But after installing Exchange 2007 i cant find any exchange tasks in the users properties.

How to create mailboxes for all users in a single step.or Is there any special syntacs included in the script.

FOR /L % i in (1,1,1000) DO dsadd user "cn=s1test%i,ou=FirstStore,dc=uk,dc=mycompanyname,dc=com" -samid test%i -upn s1test%i@uk.mycompanyname.com -fn test -ln s1test%i -display "s1test %i" -pwd xxxxxxx -disabled no

In order to mail-enable AD user objects you must use either the Exchange 2007 management console or shell.

Since the active directory accounts have already been created you can enable the user mailboxes for those users via the Exchange management shell with this script:

1..1000 | foreach { Enable-Mailbox test$_@uk.mycompanyname.com -TargetDatabase:"Mailbox Database" }

You could also create the accounts and mailboxes at the same time with a similar script using the New-Mailbox cmdlet. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997663.aspx)
