Hi, i have to Enable-Mailbox(es) on users who are disabled in ActiveDirectory. In Exch2007 i get the following Message: Enable-Mailbox : The user account for a user mailbox must be enabled. :  in Exch2010 there is no problem but i have to have it in 2007 - any idea ? THX in advance Cashi

That was fixed for exchange 2010 sp2 roll up 3, however I don't think there was a corresponding fix for 2007. However go ahead and get to roll up 8 sp3 for 2007. If it doesn't work then there was no fix for it.

Enable the user. Create the mailbox. Disable the user. A disabled user usually implies that the mailbox will be a "linked" mailbox with the active user in a different AD "account forest". --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi, thank you for the fast answers. After installing the latest RUs the problem was not solved. So the answer is: its not possible to add Mailbox to an disabled AD Account with Exchange 2007 Powershell.
