Use the User Type page to select the type of user account to associate with the mailbox. By default, New User is selected, but you can also create mailboxes for one or more existing users.

New User
  • Click this button to create a new user account for the mailbox. This allows you to simultaneously provision both the user account and the Exchange mailbox for a user.

  • If you select this option, you will need to provide the required user account information on the Mailbox Information page of this wizard.

Existing User
  • Click this button to create mailboxes for one or more existing user accounts. When you select this option, the Add button is enabled.

  • Click Add to open the Select User dialog box. The dialog box will display a list of user accounts in the forest that do not have associated mailboxes.

  • If you are creating user mailboxes, the list displays only enabled user accounts. For resource and linked mailboxes, only disabled user accounts are displayed. Click the desired user accounts, and then click OK to return to the wizard.

    • In the Select User dialog box, you can also search for a specific account by typing its name in the Search box, and then clicking Find Now.

  • If you want to remove a user from the list of users for which you are creating mailboxes, select the user, and then click Remove icon.
