 * Right-click the user object, click Exchange Tasks, and then click Create Mailbox.

-or-
 * When you create a new Active Directory user, click to select the Create an Exchange mailbox option.

When a Windows 2000 domain user is mailbox-enabled, several attributes are added to the user object that point to the server and the mailbox store where the user mailbox resides.
