I have a server running Small Business Server 2000. I have a user who was setup and at the end of the create new user wizard I unchecked the box to automatically create a mailbox for them. I now want to create a mailbox and was wondering if any of you know how I can now do this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Open "Active directory users and computers" on the exchange server. Right click on the user and select "Exchange Tasks..."
One of them is to add a mailbox.

OK,
I go into Active Directory Users and Computers and righ click on the username. I go into All tasks - Exchange Tasks and then a wizard appears - 'Welcome to the Exchange Task Wizard'. When I click next I am presented with only 3 options
move mailbox
delete mailbox, and
enable instant messagingNow this would make it look like the user has a mailbox but when I go into Small Business Server Administrator Console
- Domain (Exchange)
servers
first storage group
mailbox store
mailboxesthere isn't a mailbox for this user but is for all the other users.
Then I go into the users' properties and Exchange General tab. It says under Mailbox Store
server/First Storage Group/Mailbox Store (Server)
and under Alias:
username
Then in the Email Addresses tab:
smtp username@ourdomain.com
though if I try to send email to this address it will go with no errors (as yet)When I log on as the user and open Outlook to create a profile I just get the message:
"The name could not be matched to a name in the address list".
Should I maybe just delete the account and start afresh of course backing their data up first?
