Do we need a mailbox store for Exchange 2010?

In Exchange 2003 when we added new email accounts via AD we had to also select a mailbox store (first storage group/Application Mailbox OR first storage group/Mailbox Store) but in Exchange 2010 the drop down for Mailbox store is empty. Is this because they don't exist or not needed in 2010? We are just in the setup phase of Exchange 2010 so everything is still going through Exchange 2003.

You need to create users with mailboxes for 2010 using the 2010 tools (EMC or EMS), not the 2003 tools (ESM or ADUC).

So when we add new AD users we no longer create the mailbox at the same time, it has to be created separately in the Exchange Management Console?
yes exactly. don't use ADUC to create mailbox anymore
Thanks for all the help!
