Email boxes are not being created Exchange 2000, Windows 2003 doma

Good day,

I am having a problem with email boxes not being created for my users.  I 
can access the Excahnge tasks from ADUandC and everything appears to be fine, 
but when I look in the Exchange Manager, the box is not created.  I also do 
not have any error messages.

The environment is Windows 2003 Native Domain
Exchange 2000 running on Windows 2000 member server

All the latest Service Packs are running on the exchange server.

Thanks
Steve

Hello Steve,

Thank you for posting.

According to my experience, the mailboxes are created after first user 
logon. Please have a look in ESM after logon with this user account..

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. 
Have a good day.

Unfortunately, in this case they are not.  The ADUandC exchange console also 
does not reflect the changes made on the Windows 2003 DCs.  Any new users 
created do not show up on the exchange server.  Nor are deleted users 
removed.  Somehow the AD link between the 2003 DCs and Exchange 2000 appears 
to be broken.

Hi,

Exchange server does not hold a copy of the active directory so the ADUC 
that you start on this server connects to a domain controller and 
gets/updates its information from here. Start the ADUC on the exchange 
server and see which DC it connects to and then start the AD replication 
troubleshooting from here.

Found the problem.  The Recipient Update Service was pointing to a DC that 
failed months ago.  Odd that the problem only manifested itself this week, 
but changing it to a valid DC fixed the problem.  Thanks for your help.
