Mailbox creation in Exchange 2013 using EAC and Exchange management shell

User creation using EAC

First you will need to log into the Exchange 2013 Admin Center.

Usually the url will be : https://mail.domain.com/ecp 

Once there, select the recipients option then mailboxes. We then need to click the + sign to add the  new user.

·        

      Click Save button.

• The alias is james
• The first name is Pilar and the last name is James
• The name and display name is JamesNick
