To me Powershell can run any sort of .Net code... so wouldn't it be possible to create a commandlet that would use the code from the old Exchange SDK to create the mailbox. Or as PS runs .Net code just convert some older code to run.

I'm not sure if anyone has listed the things you can do though. I don't have a Exchange 2003 environment to test, but I know others like Shay Levi have much more Exchange experience.

| | Re: Exch 2003, create Mailbox from Vista machine? I work in a mixed environment and have found that the Exchange management tools which are required to create EX2003 mailboxes will not install on Vista x64 and the one thing which the powershell scripts can not do is create a mailbox on an EX2003 server. Currently, I have to use a Server 2003 x32 and a Server 2003 x64 with their respective managment tools installed to work with both EX2003 and EX2007.

Unfortunately, I've finished a full transition towards Exchange 2007, no 2003 to test against. ----- Shay Levi $cript Fanatic http://scriptolog.blogspot.com Quote: > Glenn Wilson wrote: > Quote: >> To me Powershell can run any sort of .Net code... so wouldn't it be >> possible to create a commandlet that would use the code from the old >> Exchange SDK to create the mailbox.
