Mailbox Store list blank
I cannot add new mailboxes on new users added through Active Directory Users
and Computers because when I get to the tab to create the mailbox, the pulldown list for Mailbox Store is blank. Our administrator is able to access this list on his computer, but I am not able to do this on mine. What should I check?

Mailbox Store list blank
My network admin: "Saying 'check permissions' is too vague. There are about
80 different places in Exchange dealing with permissions." Can you be more specific as to which permissions? I am running XP Pro, the exchange server is 2003, I have installed the 2003 admin pack. I can do everything EXCEPT add or change mailboxes. Thanks for the quick reply.

Mailbox Store list blank
which version of exchange did you have before? you don't need admin
permissions to the machine - you need exchange admin permissions to make changes to exchange settings. BTW - the exchange newsgroup would probably be a better location for this question. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Monte" wrote in message ...

Mailbox Store list blank
I don't actually need to be able to change settings, I just need to be able
to access the list of mailbox stores for the purpose of creating mailboxes. I didn't initially see a group for Exchange. This is because I am an idiot. I will take this thread over there, and when I get the answer I am looking for, I will post a reply here. Thanks for your help!

Mailbox Store list blank
Problem solved! I found a thread in the Exchange forum from someone with a
similar problem. Here is text from that thread: Gave OU admins the Exchange Admin view only but when they go to create a mailbox for the user the dropdown list is blank. I tested in this my lab at home the Exchange admin right view only and it works. Is this a permission issue on the information store? "It may be a permissions issue on the Configuration container in Active Directory. For that drop-down to be populated the user must be able to query the AD for it and its status. By removing (or restricting) permissions you can hide the individual databases from users." My sysadmin checked permissions in Exchange System Manager, under the properties for the Exchange server and fixed the permissions.
