Server

Exchange server name

Port

LDAP port [Optional parameter]

Name of NT domain where the primary NT account that should be associated with this Mailbox exists

SMTPsuffix

Common problems
The error message "OLE error 8007202F" means "There was a constrain violation" - most common causes: an empty string in a parameter or too long string.

Examples
1) NT4 - create mailboxes for accounts listed in column 2 with full names listed in column 3

·	Server name = "ExchSrv01"

·	Windows domain="domain30"

·	Exchange Organization = "Acme"

·	Exchange Site = "Site01"

·	Exchange container ="Recipients/NormalUsers"

Exchange.55.Mailbox.Create ExchSrv01, o=Acme/ou=Site01/cn=Recipients/cn=NormalUsers, domain30, %col2%, %col3%, @acme.com

2) Windows 2000 - create mailboxes for accounts listed in column 2 with full names listed in column 3
