Unable to create new Mailboxes in Exchange 2007
Posted on 2014-01-06
Hi,
We had an issue last week where the Data Stores on Exchange needed clearing out. At the same time we were unable to create new mailboxes, when we went through the wizard and the timer starts showing the new mailbox being created it wouldn't actually create the mailbox.
The time would just go on and on.

Is the default mailbox name changed (https://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2009/05/27/no-exchange-mailbox-created-for-new-users-in-sbs-2008.aspx)?
Also do you have any of this conditions: https://support.ca.com/cadocs/0/CA%20ARCserve%20%20Backup%2015-ENU/Bookshelf_Files/HTML/MS_Exch/index.htm?toc.htm?exchange_unable_to_create_the_user_account_create_the_mailbox_or_finalize_the_mailbox.htm ?
Do you have any error messages in event viewer or when you try to create the mailbox?

No errors, the Elapsed Time just keeps going and going. Where in Event Viewer should I be looking for errors?
The databases are mounted

I started to create a new Mailbox and watch Windows Logs > Application at the same time, the only entry I see is: "The Directory Service Referral interface (RFRI) received a client request on RPC protocol sequence ncacn_ip_tcp. RFRI is returning the Domain Controller name crossbill.domain.com"
