Exchange 2003 MSDN

We have an Exchange 2003 SP1 (MSDN) server in our lab.  With the MSDN
version, is there a limit on the number of mailboxes that can be created?

We have over 100 test accounts w/ mailboxes.  When I created a new test
account, I was able to create a mailbox, but cannot access the mailbox thru
OWA or Outlook.

I deleted about 20 accounts and associated mailboxes...but to no avail.  But
when I rebooted the server, then I was able to access the mailbox thru OWA.

Was it the reboot or deleting the 20 accounts that fixed it?  Any comments
is appreciated.

Thanks!

MSDN version (or any other version) does not have a limitation on number of
mailboxes.

Thank you for the quick response.  Any idea what might have caused the
issue?  I've discovered that the server does not have any service packs
installed.  I'll be installing SP2 for exchange today.  Thanks again.

Hard to say without finding out more... did the mailbox get created? Did you
see it in ESM? what kind of errors were you getting with Outlook? With OWA?
Could you see the user in your GAL? Could you send email to the user?
