Exchange 2003 not create email address for new user
Dear experts,
Have a problem with Exchange and don't know why and how to resolve.
We have an Exchange 2003 server. All were fine until a few days ago that it failed to create an email address for a newly added user.
Usually, Exchange will give an email address to a new user within, say minutes but this time it has taken almost 24 hours and still no email address been created. If I go into User Properties the Email Addresses tab is blank.
No change to any Email Policy whatsoever. The Recipient Policy is still there and I have already manually rebuild the Recipient Update Services, and ran the Mailbox Management Process.
Can any expert shed some light as where else I can look at please? I can probably create the email address manually but I want to understand why Exchange fail to do that in the first place in case there is something fundamentally wrong with it.
Thanks in advance.

Anyway the problem is resolved after I deleted the account and created it again. Within 10 minutes the email addresses populated.
For whatever reason it failed yesterday and I am pretty sure I did NOT untick the "create mailbox" icon.
Thanks for your help anyway.
