Exchange Server 2003 Mailbox Issues
Hi,Our Network is a single AD domain distributed across two sites (Site 1, Site 2). Each site got One exchange server 2003 with latest patches and SP's on Windows2003R2 Servers. If a new user account is created on Site 1 which got Exch01, every thing works fine. If create user account on Site2 which got Exhc02 I can see user account is created without any errors &all the account properties including emails addresses and every thing else propogated across to Site 1 but the mailbox nevers creates on the Exch02 database not even after a month. That new AD account can logon to domain computers and all the Security Permissions work as mentioned and alsoappears under GAL,but the Mailbox never creates. I did try sending email and logging on using OWA etc.And also while creating the new user account on Site 01, Exch01 if select the user mailbox to store on Site 2, Exch 02 database, the above mentioned problem appears. No errors every thing propogates but the Mailbox doesn't create.The only work around which we are using now is creating a mailbox on Site 1 and using Exchange Tools to move to Site 2.I did check the RUS by going through Diagnositics Logging, I already gone through RUS rebuild and every thing. No error appears and nothing strange. AD replication and DNS updates propogate no errors. Analysed the traffic between the sites related to LDAP nothing blocked and no errors either. Even the Application event log on both the Exchange and AD sites are pretty clear, even after enabling the Diagnostics Logging for most of the Exchange Related stuff.Any help appreciated.Thanks,Rpadavala

Have you checked the ESM by expanding the Mailbox Store and then selecting the Mailboxes Folder. Can you see that mailbox there? If that newly created user can login to mailbox means the Mailbox is created in Database. it could be the matter of ESM views. Can you please elaborate more?

I did check ESM and I can see no Mailbox over there. I said they can log onto the Domain Computers, not to the Mailbox. If I am trying to setup his outlook it say's can't connect to the exchange server. I did say even OWA doesn't work. I I couldn't get what's the other information that you are after.Thanks,Rpadavala

Hi, How many database are there inExch 02. Did u try to create mailbox form Site1 on Exch02. It looks like issue with Exch 02. You also said when you move mailbox to the Exch 02 mailbox works fine. Can you try to create maibox using script in Exch 02 instead of using ADUC to check if mailbox is creating in othre means and its acessable http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript/vbscript_user_mailbox.htm Regards, Krishna http://smtpport25.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the Reply.Both the Exchange Servers are standard, so only one database on each for user mailboxes. I need to test the script first and then getback to you.I am expecting some thing from the Exch01 is not propogating or the Exch02 may not be updating either or. Yes, whenI move the created mailbox from Exch01 to Exch02 that works fine.Regards,Rpadavala
