I am having an issue with user mailboxes being created at the time their
AD account is. I am running a Windows 2003 domain with Exchange Server
2003.

Th AD Users and Computers MMC add-in, all have the Exchange Server tabs,
meaning that I have the Exchange Server 2003 System Manager loaded on
the same machine, but the mailboxes don't appear to be getting
generated, even though I get the correct prompt for them at the time I'm
creating the user account.

Any ideas what I should look for?

Is the Recipient Update Service running properly? Event log errors?

Do you mean you can't see the mailboxes in ESM? The user account associated
with the mailbox needs to login or the user needs to recieved an e-mail
before the mailbox will be created in the store. Hope this helps because it
has confused me in the past.

Thanks,
Mark

I appears that the RUS is running as expected, and I am seeing no errors
in the Event Logs. I have recently added a new DC into the domain, and
moved most of the FSMO roles to it. Should I also move the RUS service
to it? How can I see what server currently owns the RUS service and if
it's running as expected?

Found it. I had to repoint the RUS to use the newly built DC, rather
than continuing to point at itself. An yes, someone before me made the
Exchange 2003 Server a DC and a GC as well. I know this is bad, hence
the new controller. ;^)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
