Some errors in creating AD user with mailbox enabled

Question

Dear adler Steven / all,
I followed all your posts and able to create AD user with mail box enabled, Now i am able to send and receive mails for this user.
But the user in AD is disabled , that is it is not with the icon of an enabled user but it has an icon of user with a cross marked in Red.
i have given the successful coding below:
attrs.put("cn","chngcode");
attrs.put("instanceType","4");
attrs.put("objectCategory","CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=csindia,DC=com");
attrs.put("objectClass","top");
attrs.put("objectClass","person");
attrs.put("objectClass","organizationalPerson");
attrs.put("objectClass","user");
attrs.put("mailNickname","chngcode");
attrs.put("mail","[email protected]");
attrs.put("sAMAccountName","chngcode");
attrs.put("msExchHomeServerName","/o=CYGNUS_O/ou=CSINDIA/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=CSISERVER2");
attrs.put("objectCategory","CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=csindia,DC=com");
attrs.put("userPrincipalName","[email protected]");
attrs.put("distinguishedName","CN=chngcode,CN=Users,DC=csindia,DC=com");
attrs.put("instanceType","4");
attrs.put("mDBUseDefaults","TRUE");
attrs.put("name","chngcode");
attrs.put("replicatedObjectVersion","0");
attrs.put("legacyExchangeDN","/o=CYGNUS_O/ou=CSINDIA/cn=Recipients/cn=chngcode");
attrs.put("givenName","chngcode");
attrs.put("displayName","chngcode");
// Create the context
Context result = ctx.createSubcontext(userName, attrs); Help me on further process :
-How to solve the above bottle neck , Is any thing missed for above?
- I have not set the password thru codings. what to do on this ?
-When/where to use the homeMDB attributes ( Is it necessary to use this homeMDB ? )
-How to create the mailbox with in a store ? (Presently i have created the mail box in Recipients container for this AD user)
Expecting your early enlightening on this..
Advanced thanks for your efforts.
By,
Softeek.

If you refer to the post titled "JNDI, Active Directory (Creating new users & demystifying userAccountControl)" at http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=582103&tstart=15 you wil notice that because of the stricter security in Windows Server 2003 Active Directory, user accounts created with null passwords are automagically disabled.
To enable new user accounts you must assign a password (that meets the security policy !) and then enable the account.
