No. Exchnage 2007 onwards administration of Exchnage and AD has been separated in some ways.
You need to use Exchage Management console or Exchange Management Shell to create Mailboxes for Exchange 2007 or 2010

No you cant create it from Windows 2008 AD as well.
We have AD database in Exchange 2007 and 2010, so no more creating of mailbox from AD now after 2003.
Hope it helps!

Or simply install the Exchange 2010 management tools to the 2003 server, or run the 2010 exchange command shell.
2010 cannot function via the AD Users & Computers. That option was removed. MS is going back to the Backoffice 5.5 days layout it appears.
You need to understand the difference between how 2003 & 2010 function.
2010 is not too different from 2007 exchange.
The below URL might give some more idea's of where I am going. Its reg 2007 though. No info on 2010 found, but same idea applies.
