Creating an Exchange mailbox

When creating a user account, the Active Roles console provides the option to create a user mailbox for that user. User mailboxes are the most commonly used mailbox type, and it is typically the mailbox type that is assigned to users in an Exchange organization.

Additionally, the console provides a number of commands for creating special-purpose mailboxes in an Exchange organization where Exchange 2013 or later is deployed. On a container, such as an organizational unit, each of these commands creates a disabled user account along with a special-purpose mailbox associated with that account:

  • New | Room Mailbox  Creates a mailbox that is assigned to a meeting location, such as a conference room, auditorium, or training room. Room mailboxes can be included as resources in meeting requests, providing a simple and efficient way of organizing meetings for your users.
  • New | Equipment Mailbox  Creates a mailbox that is assigned to a non-location specific resource, such as a portable computer projector, microphone, or a company car. Equipment mailboxes can be included as resources in meeting requests, providing a simple and efficient way of utilizing resources for your users.
  • New | Linked Mailbox  Creates a mailbox that is assigned to an individual user in a separate, trusted forest. Linked mailboxes may be necessary for organizations that choose to deploy Exchange in a resource forest. The resource forest scenario allows an organization to centralize Exchange in a single forest, while allowing access to the Exchange organization with user accounts in one or more trusted forests.
  • New | Shared Mailbox  Creates a mailbox that is not primarily assigned to a single user and is generally configured to allow logon access for multiple users. The user account that is associated with a shared mailbox must be a disabled account. It is possible to specify a list of the mailbox users each of which will have full access to the shared mailbox.

Steps for creating a user mailbox

This section provides instructions on how to create a user mailbox upon creation of a new user account. To create a user mailbox for an existing user account, use the Exchange Tasks command on that account. For details, see Steps for performing Exchange tasks on a user account.

  4. When prompted for the user alias and mailbox location, accept or change the default alias setting, and select the mailbox database to hold the mailbox data. Optionally, specify a retention policy, Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy, or address book policy for this mailbox.

To determine whether a given item on a page is under the control of a certain policy, observe the text label next to the item: the underlined text label indicates that some policy restrictions are in effect. Click underlined text labels to examine the policies that govern the behavior of the wizard pages.
