I need to create 350 mailboxes.  Is there a way that I can do it via a script.  I know that I can use addusers.exe to create the users, but is there something I can use to create mailboxes?

I've used an excellent product called Advantage.  It creates user accounts, mailboxes, password settings, etc.  You can use the trial version to do everything.  However you should buy it because it will become and invaluable tool in your Active Directory/Exchange deployment.  You can get it at http://www.javelinasoftware.com

I recently used EXCHMBX.exe - at http://www.joeware.net/win/free/index.htm - almost certainly less powerful than btercha's software, but I used it and various other stuff to automate creation of my test environment...
x all users, groups, etc stored in access database
x macro exports these to .txt files
x batch, dsadd, dsmod, exchmbx scripts to Add users, mailenable some, mailbox enable others.
x VBS scripts to add secondary SMTP addresses, configure Windows Messenger/RTC stuff.

I'll also keep Advantage in mind - although maybe overkill for us.

cheers-
Nick
