It is related to the password policy that you configure for the domain. if blank password is permitted, accounts created from exchange administrator sets a blank password. the identical password to the user is created when the minimum password lenght is set on the domain.

Is there another answer to this? I'm curious because in my old environment there were 2 methods for creating mailboxes and accounts. On the central domain, we used User Manager for Domains to create accounts and Exchange Admin Tool for mailboxes (stupid secondary proxy addresses). For trusted domains, we used Exchange Admin tool from our desktops. This made accounts with passwords identical to the User ID. For untrusted domains, we used PCAnywhere and Exchange Admin Tool (on the Exchange server). For some domains this created a blank password, for others the password was identical to the User ID (at least 4 chars - with trailing "x"s for IDs less than 4 chars). I tried to figure out where this was configured, but couldn't find it. We didn't do anything that I'm aware of, and because I'm just anal when it comes to work it really bugged me.
