A while back I proposed\u00c2\u00a0 a powershell XMA approach<\/a> to the problem of adding Exchange 2007 mailboxes to existing AD users. This was because my old method of adding an Exchange 2003 mailbox<\/a> by populating a couple of extra attributes did not seem to work with Exchange 2007.<\/p>\n

However, in\u00c2\u00a0 a recent thread<\/a> on the Technet forum, Michael D’Angelo listed all the attributes that he has found are needed for an Exchange 2007 mailbox. I eventually managed to test this myself in a lab and, surprisingly, it now seems to be working perfectly – and in fact I only needed to populate the same attributes as for Exchange 2003. These are:<\/p>\n

displayName
\nmailNickname
\nhomeMDB
\nmDBUseDefaults<\/p>\n

I was using Exchange 2007 rollup 9 in the lab. Not sure if anything has changed with the rollups to make it work now.<\/p>\n
