So just to confirm if you open up the Exchange System Manager and expand the mailboxes there are no user mailboxes there correct?

Sometimes I have found that there some 'orphaned' Exchange users. In ADUC add an E-mail address and Exchange mailbox store to the list of columns to view and see if any users have Exchange enabled but not used. Then use can use Exchange Tasks, Remove Exchange Attributes to clean it up.

Can you show me some screen shots of any users in ADUC and System Manager to see if I can see what is wrong.

Does the server have any other third party software installed that may install some 'hidden' accounts e.g. antivirus, anti spam etc.?

I suggest you check Terminal Services Manager to make sure no one is connected! If anybody is, kick them off... make sure you don't kick yourself, of course! lol.

If it's possible, find out which user is supposedly connected and go to Active Directory users and click on Find. Search for the user that way. I have also found that sometimes users are not listed in AD but are found when using the Search/Find tool.

Report back on how you get on and hopefully someone can provide you with a resolution!
