Create Mailbox in Exchange through Active Directory Add User
I want to give the help desk responsibility to add/edit/delete user accounts. I have been able to find the correct permissions to allow them to add/copy users in Active Directory, but it doesnt include creating an Exchange mailbox. What do I need to do to make this to happen?

ok they need to be Organaization admins to add SMTP addresses in the recipient policies, if u want you can let them try to add the addresses directory on the users properties in Active Directory in the Exchange Addresses tab.

by the way, if you just created the user and u can't see any addresses then just wait for replication and for RUS to stamp the address on the users.

I found the problem. When the process of trying to add addtional e-mail addresses in AD timed out we got the following message regarding an Exchange Extension ID no:c10308a2 that led me to KB905809.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905809/en-us
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
" Users are delegated Exchange Server administrator roles.
" The users who are delegated Exchange Server administrator roles are not members of the Domain Admins group or the Local Admins group on the Exchange server.
" You have implemented the Exchange Server 2003 Security Hardening templates.
Therefore, the users cannot log on to the Exchange server.
Windows Server 2003 SP1 limits the ability of users who are not administrators to remotely access the Service Control Manager (SCM). Therefore, Exchange System Manager or the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in cannot determine the Exchange Server services that are running.
Method 2 on this KB did not work I put them in the Administrators Group on the Exchange server. I was nervous about trying Method 1. Now they can add and edit e-mail addresses in Active Directory.

Exchagne 2007 Management tools are installed but still can not create a user and mailbox from active directory, at once. I mean all at once.
garn_h - this is an old question. Unlike a forum it is not possible to "bump" questions back up the list. The only people who will see your post are those that have already participated. Instead you should post your question as a new question in the Exchange Server Zone which will allow other experts the chance to see the question and respond.
