After installing an Exchange 2000 Server in an existing domain and administrative group I can't create mailboxes!
I open ADUC, I create the user, I choose to create a mailbox, choose the server and afterwords when I open the properties box I do not have any email address! Also if I open system manager, choose the server and storage group I don't see any mailbox created!

Thank you

Send a test message to the new mailbox to initialise it. Email addresses do not always appear immediately as the Recipient Policy has to be applied. Check it again a couple of minutes after creation.

Hutch is right. The RUS has to run in order for you to see the email addresses. This usually runs every few minutes.
