Create an AD Mailbox

You can create a mailbox using GroupID portal when a messaging provider has been configured for the identity store.

A mailbox is a user with a mailbox, such as an Exchange mailbox.

NOTE: Pages and fields on the Create Mailbox wizard may vary from those discussed here, since the administrator can customize the wizard by adding or removing pages and fields.

What do you want to do?
