This is really frustrating.

On Exchange 2007 you can do this

$username = Read-Host "Enter Username: "
$password = Read-Host "Enter password: " -AsSecureString

New-MailUser -Name $username -Password $password -ExternalEmailAddress
($username + "@test.com").ToString() -UserPrincipalName ($username +
"@test.com").ToString() -Organizational test.com/test

It will create a user account, and its way it should be done in
PowerShell. Clean, simple, documented.

To PowerShell team.

You have created something very very good.
I have created script that converts event logs from servers into RSS
feed in less then 3 hours.

And I'm struggling to create simple user in AD, please add some of
Exchange 2007 stuff into final release. Please.
