Add Exchange account from command line (How?)

[Joost Kuin]

I'm using NT4 and Exchange 5.5 (sp3)

If I add an user in 'usermanager' it automaticly creates an Exchange account. But I want to add NT domain users from the command-line. For example:
"net user %user% %password% /add /fullname:"%fulln%" /homedir:\%server%\%user%$ /DOMAIN /COMMENT:"%group%"

This doesn't automaticly create an Exchange account (mailbox etc.), as in 'usermanager'.

Does anyone have a (DOS) tool to add an Exchange account from the command-line? So that i can integrate it into my batchfile?

Thanking you in advance, Joost.
PS: Please respond by email.

One way would be to install the Administrative Mailbox Agent from the BackOffice Resource Kit. Then use the MAPIsend Tool (also in the BORK) to send email from the command-line to the Admin mailbox. That will also create your NT account too.
