DMA can run a post-process script that creates new mailboxes. You can obtain this script from Microsoft and modify it for your environment.

The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article contains a sample VBscript that creates an Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 mailbox for an existing user: Microsoft Knowledge Base article 327079, How to programmatically create a mailbox for an existing user in the Active Directory by using CDOEXM,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327079&Product=exch2003.

To create new mailboxes:

1. Obtain the script from Microsoft Knowledge Base article 327079.
2. Using a text editor, open the script and locate the following line:

Set oIADSUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=UserName,CN=Users," & strDefaultNC)

3. Replace the line identified in the previous step with the following text:

Set oIADSUser = targetObject

4. Save and close the script.
5. In DMA, run the script.
