I know I have done this before, but I am drawing a blank right now. In Exchange 2003, I have a users mailbox that I want to delete, but I want to Re-create a new mailbox for the same user. I thought I did this in AD, but when I do, it does not display in System Manager - Mailboxes. Any ideas on how I can create a new, empty mailbox for an existing user?

Thanks =]

However, exchange does not create the new mailbox until it needs to -- either when the user first logs in via Outlook or OWA, or when there is mail to deliver to the mailbox.

Wow...I had a feeling I was doing it right. That's why I was going crazy. It was late, and I was tired (excuses excuses)

Anyway, I just never logged on with the user after that.

ALSO, After I log on with the user / new mailbox, will the permissions apply properly? I notice that when I look at the Permissions for the mailbox in AD after creating it, Only "SELF" is granted rights. I could log on I suppose and see what happens, but there should be Administrator, Everyone, Exchange, etc as defined permissions for the mailbox.

Thanks again.
