Hi,

I have setup two servers. 1 I made into a DC with AD. Then I installed Exchange 2000 with running forest prep and domain prep. Install went well and if I setup a new user it asks me what mailbox etc. If I look at the system properties it gives me the exchange tabs to see the email setup etc.
I then added the 2nd server to the domain with dcpromo. All went well I think and they replicate between eachother.
However when I use the AD users & Computers MCC on the 2nd server there is only a small field under user properties/general that tells me what the email address is. If I setup a new user on the 2nd server it does NOT ask me if I want to create a mailbox?
Is this normal or did I mess up somewhere along the line. Should I run Forestprep and/or domain prep again?

Please help me out (again).

What you need to do is to install the Exchange System Management tools on the new domain controller. This will give the appropriate extensions on the new DC for all the exchange tasks that you are able to do on the 1st DC. You do not get the create mailbox option till you install the Exchange System Management tools.
The tools can be found on your Exchange 2K CD.
