XADM: Error Creating Local User Account on Member Exchange Server

• Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5
• Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5 Service Packs 1, 2

SYMPTOMS

When you create a new local user account in User Manager on a member server that has Exchange Server installed, the following error message may appear:

Microsoft Exchange Extensions cannot be used when administering local accounts.
Microsoft Exchange User Manager Extension
ID. no. c1037539.

CAUSE

This message is informational only. Because the Exchange Server extension that automatically creates a new user mailbox as you create the new user account in User Manager requires a domain account rather than a local account, you are prompted with this message. There are no detrimental effects to the new local user account, but there will be no automatic creation of an Exchange Server mailbox.

WORKAROUND

To work around this situation, manually create a new user mailbox in the Exchange Server Administrator program and associate it with a domain account from User Manager.
