Let me pick this thread back up since I am getting closer to having
to make the coding change to Exchange 2007. For now we are running a
mix of Exchange 2003 and 2007 servers. I am a programmer, not an
Exchange administrator.

We have a web page that allows new students to the university to
create their account and mailbox. Does the PowerShell cmdlet to
create the mailbox need to run on the Exchange server itself or can
it run from the web server where the ASP.Net runs?

Thanks for any help.
