Adding someone to an email group in Exchange 2003

How do you add someone to a group in Exchange 2003 on Windows 2000 server with Active Directory? Thanks.

I use exchange 2000 but I imagine exch2003 would not be too different.

In AD, when you create a distribution group or a security group that is mail enabled, any user that is added to that group will receive mail that is sent to the group.

Use AD users and groups. Find the user and open properties of the user. In "member of" tab, add the group you want the user to belong to. Obviously, the group must have been previously created. Or do the reverse. Find/create the Group and add the user into the group.

Exactly how/where do I create a new group for Exchange? am I going to do this somewhere in AD? Thanks.

Active Directory users and groups MMC in an exchange server machine has the exchange extensions that allow you to create mailboxes for users.

You can use ADUG to create groups on any machine that has the admin.pak installed but you will only see the exchange extensions/eg create mail boxes on the actual Exchange server machine.

You can only create users and group in AD .
