Creating a New AD User
I have recently taken over the support of a Network with a 2003 DC and 2007 Exchange and have found something odd when creating a new AD User.
I have never used Exchange 2007 before and I have always created a new user on the DC by right clicking the respective OU in AD and selecting New User, which will also create a new Mailbox, but with this Exchange 2007 new users have to be created through the Exchange Management console and creating a new mailbox, which eventually replicates to the Users OU on the DC, I then have to move the new user to the correct OU.
Is this the correct procedure when using Exchange 2007 or is something wrong.
If i try to create a new user on the DC, then a mailbox is not created and Outlook will not find it.

when you create a new user, there is also an option to select the OU

Ok, I will check that out, but what about the rest of my question, is this normal way to create a new users using Exchange 2007, I have also noticed that when make a user a member of a group I do not see any security properties, so I have no idea what access they have in that group.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
did you check the management shell to get the properties of the group to set permissions?

As suggested I installed the Exchange System Manager tools on the DC and I can now create new users with a Mailbox, how simple was that.
