Work with Users

A user is an individual with logon privileges. To receive e-mail in Exchange, a user must have a mailbox. Follow these steps to configure mailbox properties for a Windows user:

  1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
  2. Right-click a user, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
  3. Specify Exchange properties for the user. Properties available to configure depend on whether you create an Exchange mailbox for a user or not, that is, whether a user is mail-enabled or mailbox-enabled.

    The following Exchange tabs are available in Active Directory Users and Computers if a Connection Agreement is configured with Windows 2000 Active Directory.
