How to differentiate a mailbox enabled user and a user who has his/her mailbox attributes set using attribute editor. I am using Exchange Server 2007 SP1 installed in Windows 2008 Server R2.- Santron Manibharathi.

There is no difference as long as you provisioned all the mailbox attributes. What is the goal?James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

If i provide all required exchange attributes to an user, will a mailbox be created for him?- Santron Manibharathi.

No I don't think so becuse msExchMailboxGuid and msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor can't be generated. You can set all the other attributes but without these core attributes the mailbox won't be generated. The only fix is to run set-mailbox test -applymandatoryproperties which will then generate these values. I don't think you can randomly generate these values.
